Held
each October, National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) is a
national campaign that raises awareness about disability employment issues and
celebrates the many and varied contributions of America's workers with
disabilities. This year's theme is "A Strong
Workforce is an Inclusive Workforce: What Can YOU Do?"

During
nearly five plus decades of working, I have worked with many people
disabilities and to the person – they all excelled in the workplace.

The
AbilityOne Program is the largest single source of employment for people who
are blind or have significant disabilities in the United States, providing
employment opportunities to more than 50,000 people. More than 600
participating, community-based nonprofit agencies (NPAs) train and employ these
individuals with disabilities nationwide. But there are hundreds of thousands
of Americans who are blind or have other significant disabilities that are
still waiting for their chance to work. That’s why building awareness of the
Program during NDEAM and throughout the year is so crucial to its success.
