July is Disability Pride Month!
Disability Pride initially began in 1990 as a one-day celebration to commemorate the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) being signed into law on July 26, 1990. 🥳
The first official Disability Pride month was celebrated in 2015, marking the 25th anniversary of this marvelous achievement.
It is important to recognize the resilience of our friends, neighbors, and loved ones with disabilities this month (& always), as we celebrate their strides towards acceptance throughout the ongoing fight against ableism.
In celebrating the things that make us unique can we learn and grow from one another, realizing maybe we aren’t all so different after all. 💐
We wanted to give a big shout out to @tallahasseefire for coming out to Independence Landing and giving our residents a tour of their fire engine! 🚒👩🏼🚒🧯
While here, the firefighters spent time teaching us about the importance of general fire safety, as well as fire safety inside of the home. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) estimates that fire departments across the United States are called every 23 seconds to respond to a fire, with one home fire-related injury occurring every 52 minutes. Ensuring that you and your loved ones practice the essential steps to prevent fires also ensures you have a safe, fun time, wherever you go!
Thank you to these brave individuals for keeping us safe and informed. 💚💛

Happy Independence Day from us here at Independence Landing! 🎆❤️🤍💙
Can’t wait for the hotdogs and fireworks later! 🌭💥 And who doesn’t love apple pie? 🥧
Our offices are closed today, but resume normal business hours Monday. Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend!
Let’s get ready for the 4th! 🎉 While we can all agree fireworks are fun to look at, they can be a major source of stress and anxiety for some. People with disabilities, veterans, those with PTSD, and many other people — even pets — are affected by the harsh noises set off by fireworks. However, this doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy them! There are a few ways your friends and loved ones can ensure they have a sensory friendly holiday:
🎧Wear headphones or earbuds to help minimize loud noises.
🫂Stay with a group of people who understand your needs, and are there to support you if necessary.
🎇Watch videos of fireworks to get accustomed to the loud noises and give you an idea of what to expect.
😋Stay hydrated throughout the day and eat before/while watching fireworks. Meeting these needs will improve your mood and prevent heat exhaustion.
📓Have a plan in place in the event that you have to leave in an emergency. Don’t be afraid to speak up or communicate if you begin to feel uncomfortable.
🏡If you are unable to watch fireworks in a public setting, you could still enjoy the fun from the comfort of your own home! Watching from the yard or window will still be just as exciting.
Most importantly, be safe! 💚

We had a paw-some time at animal therapy with the @ Tallahassee Memorial Health Care Group! 🐶💚
Animal-assisted therapy can offer a range of benefits for individuals with disabilities, including improved mental health, increased physical activity, and enhanced social skills! ✨
These therapies can also reduce stress, anxiety, and feelings of loneliness, while also boosting self-esteem and providing a sense of companionship.
