October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), a time to celebrate the achievements of people with differing abilities in the workplace.

It is past time that we eliminated the sub-minimum wage.

National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) always has a special place at John’s Crazy Socks. NDEAM matters because it calls all of us to recognize that 20 million Americans with a disability cannot find meaningful work despite being ready, able, and willing to work. NDEAM matters because it calls on us to focus on what people can do, not what they cannot do. NDEAM matters because we are never blinded by a person’s limitations, we are awed by their possibilities.
