Did you know? In 2025, the unemployment rate for people with disabilities was 8.3%, about twice the rate for people without disabilities.

During National Disability Employment Awareness Month, IACP is highlighting the continued need to expand access to meaningful, competitive employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

Employment can support greater independence, financial stability and a stronger sense of belonging. Community providers play an important role in helping people pursue their goals and contribute to the communities people call home.

This month, we recognize the progress that has been made and the work still ahead to create more opportunity for all.
