Celebrated every October, NDEAM
is an opportunity to recognize the contributions of people
with disabilities to our workplaces and economy. Led by the
U.S. Department of Labor's Office of
Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), NDEAM also
showcases supportive, inclusive policies and practices that
benefit workers and employers alike. This year's
theme, Disability: Part of the Equity Equation,
recognizes the important role that individuals with
disabilities play in a diverse and inclusive American
workforce.
ACL is committed to expanding employment
opportunities for people with disabilities. We fund
programs that provide direct employment support services
and advocate for policies and practices that prioritize
competitive, integrated employment (CIE). We're also
investing in research to increase knowledge about the
benefits of employment of individuals with disabilities and
to increase the availability of effective interventions to
support employment.
