"Reflections on Disability Employment, " By Kathleen Martinez, Assistant Secretary of Labor for Disability Employment Policy

_By Kathleen Martinez, Assistant Secretary of Labor for Disability Employment Policy_

October commemorates National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). Sponsored by my agency, the Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), NDEAM is a national campaign that raises awareness about disability employment issues and celebrates the many and varied contributions of workers with disabilities. I am inspired by the many creative NDEAM observances held nationwide this year at the grassroots level, and I was honored to participate in many of them. Employers, schools and organizations of all sizes in numerous communities hosted events to educate audiences and promote the theme of NDEAM 2011, "Profit by Investing in Workers with Disabilities."
