While it is too easy to think of Native American cultures as merely part of the past, there are still millions of Native Americans living today, and marking a day for them is merely a first step in acknowledging their rich history and ensuring an equitable future.

Today’s history post doesn’t mark a particular day, but it does celebrate the creation of National Disability Employment Awareness Month. First created in 1945 as a weeklong event, a formal monthlong commemoration was established in 1988, with states like New York promoting efforts to support those who go out of their way to hire those with disabilities.

NY ABLE will be hosting an in-person event in the Albany area on October 14th to share more about the NY ABLE program.

NY ABLE allows individuals with disabilities and their families to save for qualified disability related expenses, without limiting their ability to benefit from federal benefit programs such as SSI, SSDI and Medicaid. NY ABLE offers multiple investment options including a checking account and debit card option allowing individuals with disabilities to maintain their independence and have quick and easy access to their own money. Earnings on investments can grow tax-deferred and are tax-free if withdrawals are used for qualified disability expenses.

Registration is required for this event.
Registration will close on October 14, 2026 @ 5:00pm

World Cerebral Palsy Day is happening right now, pushing for worldwide change in how we treat those who have cerebral palsy. Today, we want to ask our followers, especially any who have cerebral palsy themselves, to reflect on what has already been accomplished and what can be improved further.
