This week marked the start of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) 2017, with a host of events and activities across the nation. Observed each October, NDEAM celebrates the contributions of America’s workers with disabilities and educates about the importance of a disability-inclusive workforce – to not only people with disabilities, but also the employers who stand to benefit from their skills. In honor of NDEAM, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Disability Employment Policy Jennifer Sheehy penned a blog post highlighting the many ways “Inclusion Drives Innovation” in America’s workplaces and economy.
