A shout-out this month to workers with disabilities!

NDEAM began in 1945 as a weeklong national observance of the contributions of people with physical disabilities. In 1988, Congress designated the commemoration as NDEAM, which then evolved to acknowledge the importance of increasing opportunities for people with disabilities, including those with mental health conditions and other nonobvious disabilities, in the workforce. In 2001, the Office of Disability Employment within the U.S. Department of Labor was created to administer NDEAM. Learn more about NDEAM.
