INVISIBLE DISABILITIES WEEK

This Senate resolution designates the week of October 20 to October 26, 2024, as Invisible Disabilities Week throughout the State of Illinois. The measure aims to raise awareness about conditions that are not immediately visible, such as chronic illnesses, pain, and injuries, which affect millions of people. By officially recognizing this period, the bill seeks to highlight the challenges faced by individuals who often lack the obvious signs of disability and may struggle to receive adequate support or accommodations.
