Celebrate 2025 National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM).

This October marks a major milestone: the 80th anniversary of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). This annual observance celebrates the essential contributions that people with disabilities make to the American workforce. What began in 1945 as a week dedicated to workers with physical disabilities has evolved significantly. In 1988, it became a month-long commemoration, and its focus expanded to include increasing opportunities for all people with disabilities, including those with non-obvious conditions and mental health challenges.
