October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month

By: ADA-Indiana

Saturday, October 01, 2022

If you have questions about the Americans with Disabilities Act during National Disability Employment Awareness Month, call the ADA Help Line: (800) 949-4232. ADA National Network
October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month.

The purpose of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) is to educate the public about employment issues for people with disabilities and celebrate the many and varied contributions of America's workers with disabilities.

This year's theme for NDEAM is "Disability: Part of the Equity Equation." Visit the NDEAM website for resources and ideas to commemorate this month as Disability Employment Awareness Month! You can also follow the hashtag: #NDEAM on twitter and other social media sites.

2022 NDEAM Poster English
The poster is rectangular in shape with a black colored chalkboard background overlaid with mathematical equations. In the center of the poster, on a diagonal, is a black rectangle bordered by small teal, yellow and red rectangles. It features the 2022 NDEAM theme, “Disability: Part of the Equity Equation,” along with an equation composed of several graphics: a circular photo of a woman in a wheelchair working at a computer with colleagues, followed by a plus sign, followed by a square image of a woman who uses crutches viewing a document with a colleague, followed by an equal sign, followed by a light bulb icon. Across the top of the rectangle in small, white letters are the words National Disability Employment Awareness Month. Along the bottom in small white letters is the hashtag “NDEAM” followed by ODEP’s website address, dol.gov/ODEP. In the lower right corner in white lettering is the DOL seal followed by the words “Office of Disability Employment Policy United States Department of Labor.


Held annually, National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) is led by the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), but it's true spirit lies in the many observances held at the grassroots level across the nation every year. Employers of all sizes and in all industries are encouraged to participate in NDEAM.
