Are you ready for National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM)? Held every October, NDEAM is a fitting time to educate about disability employment issues and celebrate the many and varied contributions of America’s workers with disabilities. The 2023 NDEAM theme will be “Advancing Access and Equity.”

NDEAM is led by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), but its true spirit lies in the many observances held at the grassroots level across the nation every year. The Campaign for Disability Employment encourages organizations of all sizes and in all industries to participate in NDEAM.

For specific ideas on supporting NDEAM, visit the website dol.gov/ndeam. Suggestions range from simple, such as displaying a poster, to comprehensive, such as implementing a disability education program. However you choose to take part, you’ll be playing an important role in fostering a more inclusive workforce, one where every person is recognized for his or her abilities—every day of every month.

Stay tuned to learn more, and start thinking now about ways to incorporate the 2023 NDEAM theme into your own activities this fall!
