July 26 marks National Disability Independence Day, commemorating the 1990 passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This landmark legislation redefined civil rights in the United States by securing greater access, protection, and independence for individuals with disabilities.

At SIDEARM Sports, accessibility is more than a legal requirement—it's a core value. SIDEARM is committed to making the web inclusive for all users, including those with auditory, cognitive, neurological, physical, speech, and visual disabilities. Our dedicated accessibility team works to ensure that athletic websites meet ADA compliance standards and provide a seamless experience for all fans and partners

Throughout Disability Pride Month, we celebrate the diverse identities, lived experiences, and valuable contributions of the disability community. This observance is an opportunity to:

• Recognize the strength and resilience of individuals with disabilities
• Confront stigma and encourage open dialogue around accessibility
• Promote visibility, representation, and empowerment in all areas of society

As advocates for inclusive technology, we view this month as both a celebration and a catalyst for continued progress.
