National Disability Independence Day takes place every year on July 26th, and commemorates the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26th, 1990.
The ADA provides protection from employment discrimination and offers better access to goods, services and communications for those with disabilities.

The conversation touches on how Taylor’s journey affected her mental health in addition to her physical health journey and what motivates her each day.
