October - National Disability Employment Awareness Month
National Disability Employment Awareness Month began with the
Presidential Proclamation in 1988. This law replaced "National
Employ the Handicapped Week" which had occurred annually since
1945 during the first week of October. The new law also
recognized a change in terminology and replaced the term
"handicap" with "disability".
