**October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month!**
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has officially proclaimed October 2026 as National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), recognizing the talents, contributions, and value that people with disabilities bring to our workplaces and communities.
This year's theme, **“Celebrating Value and Talent,”** reminds us that inclusive employment is about more than access to jobs. It's about recognizing individual strengths, creating meaningful opportunities, and ensuring everyone has the chance to contribute and thrive.
At Shared Wellness, we believe that meaningful employment is an important part of living a fulfilling, independent life. We remain committed to advancing competitive, integrated employment opportunities for the adults we support.
We join the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in celebrating the abilities, achievements, and potential of people with disabilities—not just this month, but throughout the year.
**Because everyone has something valuable to contribute.**
