Disability Pride Month Class
Presented by Jordan LeVan, Carrie Salz-Iori, Courtney Burnett, and Mikayla Treynor of Fighting For My Voice LLC

In celebration of Disability Pride Month, join us for a dynamic, empowering class designed to educate, inspire, and ignite advocacy. This session is led by passionate disability advocates with lived experience—Jordan LeVan, Carrie Salz-Iori, Courtney Burnett, and Mikayla Treynor—who will guide attendees through the personal and systemic sides of disability rights.

Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, educator, self-advocate, or ally, this class will give you the tools and knowledge to better understand disability history, the purpose of Disability Pride Month, and how to advocate for meaningful inclusion. You’ll explore the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), special education laws like IDEA, and the power of advocacy at both local and national levels.

We’ll share real stories that connect individual experiences with broader systems change—highlighting how voices, when united, can transform policies and communities.

This session is designed to be parent-friendly, accessible, and inclusive, with practical takeaways and opportunities for engagement. No matter where you are in your journey—just starting out or looking to go deeper—this class will empower you to step into advocacy with confidence.

Celebrate Disability Pride Month by learning how pride in identity and community can fuel lasting change. Let’s come together to raise awareness, uplift disabled voices, and honor the progress we’ve made while continuing the fight for disability justice.
