✨ This National Disability Employment Awareness Month, let’s advocate for systems where everyone’s value is recognized. The numbers say it all: disability inclusion fuels innovation, profit, and growth - but the real impact goes far deeper. It’s about creating workplaces where every person’s contribution is valued, not because it’s profitable, but because it’s right. It’s about dignity, opportunity, and recognizing that diverse teams make stronger communities.✨When people with disabilities are included, workplaces become more creative, compassionate, and human. ...

✨ This month, we celebrate the 80th anniversary of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), an annual recognition of the positive impact of people with disabilities in the American workforce. ✨ The theme for National Disability Employment Awareness Month 2025 is “Celebrating Value and Talent.” People with disabilities bring creativity, dedication, and fresh perspectives to the workplace - and inclusive employers see the benefit in retention, morale, and innovation. ✨As siblings, we can help lift up voices, help advocate for inclusion, and help shift how others see ability.Learn more about National Disability Employment Awareness Month:www.dol.gov/agencies/odep/initiatives/ndeam#NDEAM #DisabilityInclusion #SLN #InclusionMatters ...
