NDEAM started in 1945 as a weeklong event to honor people with physical disabilities. In 1988, Congress officially named it National Disability Employment Awareness Month and expanded it to include people with all types of disabilities, including mental health conditions and other disabilities that aren鈥檛 always easy to see. In 2001, the Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) was created to lead NDEAM.
