It's National Disability Employment Awareness Month and this year's theme is Celebrating Value and Talent.

The NC ABLE Program recognizes the skills and contributions individuals with disabilities add to our workplaces, communities and the economy.

This yearly event began in 1945 as a weeklong national observance of the contributions of people with physical disabilities. In 1988, Congress designated the commemoration as NDEAM, which then evolved to acknowledge the importance of increasing employment opportunities for people with disabilities, including those with mental health conditions and other nonobvious disabilities.
