Hispanic Heritage Month

Hispanic Heritage Month began on September 15th and ends October 15. This month of hispanic recognition began in 1968 as a week-long event and was expanded to a full month 20 years later. This year's theme is, "Honoring the Awesome Way of Life." In recognition of this month, here are a few disability-related Latino sites:
