National Disability Employment Awareness
|
|
In 1945, Congress enacted a law declaring the first week in October each year "National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week" to educate the American public about issues related to disability and employment. In 1962, the word "physically" was removed to acknowledge the employment needs and contributions of individuals with all types of disabilities. In 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed the name to "National Disability Employment Awareness Month."
Disability discrimination in employment and housing is unlawful under the Fair Employment and Housing Act, which is enforced by the Department of Fair Employment and Housing.
