(Lisbon, OH)—10/1/2026—Columbiana County Educational Service Center announced today that it will join the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy in recognizing National Disability Employment Awareness Month, an annual awareness campaign that takes place in October. The purpose of National Disability Employment Awareness Month is to bring attention to disability employment and celebrate the many and varied contributions of America's workers with disabilities. The 2026 theme is "Celebrating Value and Talent.”
The history of NDEAM traces back to 1945, when it began as a weeklong recognition of people with physical disabilities. Later, NDEAM expanded to a full month and evolved to include all people with disabilities, including those with mental health conditions and other nonobvious disabilities, acknowledging the importance of increasing their access to jobs.
Reflecting this year's theme, throughout the month, Columbiana County Educational Service Center plans to hold weekly mentoring programs for students with disabilities to provide opportunities for them to learn about employment.
The ESC would like to recognize the following community partners with whom we've had the privilege of working with
throughout the past year.
