Hidden Disability Day is an awareness day that is a part of Dis-Labelled’s ongoing campaign to raise awareness around hidden disabilities.
People with hidden disabilities are frequently confronted or denied services they are entitled to as they ‘don’t look disabled’.
By raising awareness around hidden disabilities, we can ensure people are challenged less and, together, we can help break down barriers.
