‼️With it being Disability Pride Month, we wanted to take time to share some basic information! During this month it is important to take time to reflect and educate yourself on the importance of this month and all that it entails.‼️

Photo description: From top to bottom: The words “Disability Pride Month Information” is displayed in light blue lettering. Below this the paragraph reads, “Disability -pride Month is an annual observance in July that celebrates people with disabilities, commemorates the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and promotes disability culture and visibility. Observed every July, Disability Pride Month recognizes the importance of the ADA, which was signed into law on July 26, 1990. It highlights disability culture, history, and community pride. This month challenges the harmful idea that people with disabilities need to conform to norms to live meaningful lives. Their loves are just as full, valuable, and worthy of respect—no more, no less. The first DIability Pride celebration was a Disability Pride Day that took place in Boston in 1990. Chicago hosted the first Disability Pride Parade in 2004. Now, there are events nationwide empowering people with disabilities to take pride in who they are.
Below is the disability pride flag with an info graphic of many different walks of life including those with and without mobility aids and seeing aids.
At the bottom of the page is the utoledo logo in white and to the right is “Office of Accessibility and Disability Resources” in white as well.

Happy Disability Pride Month UToledo! 💙💛👩‍🦽👨‍🦯🧍‍♀️🧍

Photo Description: From top to bottom, "Disability Pride Month" is displayed in black and pink. "July" is next to this text in black. Below the test is a heart that has the colors of the rainbow on it. Below this heart are three graphics. From left to right: a person with short hair, purple shirt, sh*te pants, and purple shoes.

The ADR Office will be closed on Thursday 6/19/2025 in observance of the Juneteenth holiday. We will resume our regular office hours 8:15am to 5:00pm on Friday 6/20/2025.

Picture Description: Infographic picture An African American woman stands proudly in the foreground wearing a vibrant gold dress and black shoes. In her hand, she holds a red, black, and green Juneteenth flag, symbolizing Black liberation and Pan-African unity. The flag features three horizontal stripes: red on top (representing the blood shed in the struggle), black in the middle (for the people), and green at the bottom (symbolizing the land and hope for the future).

Beside her is another woman, dressed in a green sleeveless top, black shorts and white tennis shoes. She holds a different Juneteenth flag — the official red, white, and blue version with a bursting star in the center. This flag represents the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States, with the star symbolizing Texas (where the last enslaved people were freed), and the burst around it reflecting a new beginning.

The background is a bright, celebratory yellow, and across the top, bold text reads:
"Happy Juneteenth – Freedom Day" — a powerful reminder of resilience, liberty, and Black joy.

Please welcome Gina, our new Accessibility Specialist, who just joined our team this April. Gina earned a bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Lourdes University, a Master's Degree in Educational Technology, and a Graduate Certificate in Disability Studies, both from the University of Toledo. 🚀

With over 15 years of experience in higher education, Gina is deeply passionate about student success and fostering transformational relationships. She resides in southeast Michigan with her husband, Brennan, and their daughter, Angela, who was born with an ultra-rare genetic condition called CASK.

In her free time, Gina enjoys spending time with family and friends, decorating her home, and reading. (WooHoo BookTok!) She has also recently developed an interest in thrifting. Gina has been a fan of Lucille Ball since her teenage years and collects "I Love Lucy" memorabilia.

We have been delighted in getting to know Gina over the past few months and cannot wait to see all that she accomplishes while a part of our team!😊

Photo Description: Blue background with the words "Welcome to the team!" in yellow. Below that is a picture of Gina, who has a bright and beautiful smile, along with shoulder-length, dark brown hair. She is wearing a yellow shirt with her arms wrapped around the front of her, with her hands interlocked. On the top left and bottom right corners of the picture is one big star flanked by two little stars in yellow. Below the picture reads "Gina Luck-Deitsch" in yellow and "Accessibility Specialist" in light blue below her name.

ADR Student Employee Spotlight: Avika Jain!

Avika came to our office in the fall of 2024. She is usually at the front desk answering phones, scheduling appointments and greeting guests as they arrive to our office. She also helped caption many videos for our students. She is graduating today with a Computer Science degree. We will be sad to see her go, but wish her well as she journeys forward in her career path.

Picture description: Blue and Yellow boarder which features Avika's photo in the middle. She has long brown curly hair parted down the middle, brown eyes, and is wearing a white jacket with a multicolored blouse under it.
