Disability Awareness 2018

Disability Employment Awareness Month

Enhancing Possibility Through Accessibility

The National Institutes of Health celebrates National Disability Employment Awareness Month, as we remain deeply committed to the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion in our research and workplace.

Reasonable
Accommodation

True accessibility is when everyone has equitable access to the essential needs for doing their work. Only when you have such access, can you bring your whole self to work each day.

We’re bringing attention to NIH’s Reasonable Accommodation Program. The Program is designed to guide and consult employees and managers through the process of making changes to their work environment and exceptions to Agency policies. It aims to enable people with disabilities to perform their essential job functions so that they might enjoy equal employment opportunities.
