October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month

Calling for employed self-advocates!

Would you like to be in Kentucky’s “Employment Spotlight”? This October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. We would like to spotlight the accomplishments of the men and women with disabilities whose work helps keep the nation’s economy strong and by reaffirming their commitment to ensuring equal opportunity for all citizens.

Commonwealth Council on Developmental Disabilities is proud to support National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). Held each October, NDEAM aims to educate about disability employment issues and celebrate the many and varied contributions of America's workers with disabilities. Throughout the month, we’ll be highlighting stories about Kentuckians with disabilities and their employment.  These stories show that people with disabilities are reliable employees who play a significant role in fostering a disability-friendly work culture.
