October is National Disability Awareness Month

The annual awareness campaign seeks to expand employment opportunities and fight false perceptions that hinder people living with disabilities from joining the workforce. The theme for the 2008 National Disability Employment Awareness Month is…

                                      America’s People…
    
                                                   America’s Talent…
             
                                                                  America’s Strength!
