QUESTION: Does the Office of Disability Employment Policy have
"disability awareness" materials that can be used for NDEAM events, or for
other trainings and workshops for employers and other organizations?
ANSWER: Yes. ODEP provides information that can to be used for
National Disability Employment Awareness Month, as well as other educational
programs throughout the year online on the Publications page.
In addition to these materials, there are many local, state and regional
disability organizations that offer disability training for individuals,
employers and organizations. Excellent resources are centers for independent
living (CILs), which are local disability advocacy and service organizations.
You can find contact information for the one closest to you in
the
ILRU Directory of Centers, SILCs & Related Organizations. The federally
funded Disability and Business Technical Assistance Centers (DBTACs), which are
found in each region of the country are another good source. You may find the
DBTAC
closest to you online or by calling 1-800-949-4232 (V/TTY).
