Each year, National Disability Employment Awareness Month is celebrated in October to bring attention to the many people with disabilities who are working in successful jobs across the nation. This year’s national theme was defined by the US Department of Labor as “My disability is one part of who I am.” For more information about National Disability Awareness Month, contact CCDD at (513) 732-7000 or sbrown@clermontdd.org.
