Promoted by the Department of Labor (DOL) and observed each October, National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) celebrates the contributions of America’s workers with disabilities, past and present. The campaign showcases supportive, inclusive employment policies and practices that benefit both employers and employees. 

In line with the milestone 50th anniversary of the passage of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, DOL’s Office of Disability Employment Policy has chosen Advancing Access and Equity: Then, Now, and Next as the theme for NDEAM 2023.
