National Disability Employment Awareness Month Webinar

NDEAM – Strategies to Success: Celebrating Value and Talent of Employees who are DeafBlind, Blind, or have Low Vision

As we celebrate the 80th anniversary of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, there has never been a more important time to recognize and amplify the extraordinary value and talent that employees who are DeafBlind, blind, or have low vision bring to today’s workforce. This year’s Department of Labor theme, “Celebrating Value and Talent,” perfectly aligns with our mission to showcase both the capabilities of individuals within our community and the concrete strategies that lead to their workplace success.

In today’s rapidly evolving job market, forward-thinking employers are discovering what we’ve long known: when workplaces are designed around individual talents and strengths, everyone thrives. Employees who are DeafBlind, blind, or have low vision bring unique problem-solving approaches, innovative thinking, and specialized skills that drive business success and foster more inclusive, creative work environments.

This interactive webinar goes beyond inspiration to deliver practical, actionable strategies that make a real difference. Whether you’re a vocational rehabilitation counselor seeking effective approaches for your clients, an employer ready to tap into underutilized talent, or an individual navigating your own career journey, you’ll leave with specific tools and insights you can implement immediately.

This year, we’re proud to feature an exceptional and diverse group of panelists from our community—individuals who bring varied perspectives from their career journeys and professional experiences. You’ll hear insights and practical approaches that provide valuable strategies for recognizing, nurturing, and celebrating talent in the workplace.
