U.S. Access Board Staff to Provide Presentations and Trainings at National Conferences to Celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month
October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), which celebrates the contributions of America?s workers with disabilities and showcases supportive, inclusive employment policies and practices. The U.S. Department of Labor themed this year?s NDEAM observance as ?Advancing Access and Equity: Then, Now and Next? to celebrate the passage of the Rehabilitation Act fifty years ago and its importance in prohibiting discrimination based on disability in employment by federal agencies, federal contractors and recipients of federal funds, and in the delivery of federally funded programs and activities. In October and November of this year, U.S. Access Board staff continue to promote accessibility and educate the public, organizations, and federal agencies on accessible design through presentations and customized trainings.
