Please join the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) in kicking off National Disability Employment Awareness Month 2025, one of our favorite times of the year. You can start by visiting ODEP’s updated NDEAM webpage where you’ll find the revamped “31 Days of NDEAM” section—easy activities for employers to show support for NDEAM each day of the month—and a new “Key Messages” section with a bounty of graphics, posters, stickers and sample language for social media, press releases and articles. Also, watch and share the new “Celebrating Value and Talent” video, which brings the 2025 NDEAM theme to life. Happy NDEAM!

This year marks the 80th anniversary of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). Even though the annual October celebration is still a couple of months away, organizations are encouraged to start planning well in advance. To help, the official 2025 poster is now available to download or (soon) mail order! The poster is customizable, so organizations can insert their name, logo and photos of their choosing. Celebrating NDEAM and America’s 250th anniversary means celebrating the value all Americans—including Americans with disabilities—contribute to our nation’s workplaces and communities, every day of every month. Join us in spreading this important message. Get your NDEAM poster today!

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy has announced that this year’s National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) theme will be Celebrating Value and Talent. Held every October, NDEAM honors the contributions of America’s workers with disabilities and showcases supportive workplace policies and practices that benefit employees and employers alike. As part of the lead up to America’s 250th anniversary in 2026, this year’s NDEAM observance will highlight the achievements of Americans with disabilities both past and present. More information on NDEAM 2025, including the official poster, will be released in coming weeks. Find tools and ideas for celebrating NDEAM.
