Wear Red on Thursday!

This week, we celebrate the landmark legislation known as the Americans with Disabilities Act, which some regard as a “second Independence Day” for people with disabilities.
Since most DARS employees aren’t working on the actual anniversary day of the ADA, Sunday July 26, we decided we would commemorate the spirit of the ADA on Thursday, July 23.
Wear something red on Thursday to show your support of independence for people with disabilities, a tenet that this agency is dedicated to ensuring in Texas.
Many others around the state are joining DARS to commemorate this spirit, including Governor Rick Perry, who issued a proclamation honoring the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
