National Disability Employment Awareness Month 2025

# data[].attributes.body
This year—2025—marks the 80th anniversary of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). The nation first officially recognized the contributions of people with physical disabilities in a national week of observance in 1945. Designated by Congress as NDEAM in 1988, the commemoration evolved to acknowledge the importance of increasing the number of people with disabilities, including those with mental health conditions, in the workforce. In 2001, ODEP was created and given responsibility for administering NDEAM, including selecting and helping promote its annual theme.

Phases of School Transition

Systems are working together to support students with intellectual and developmental disabilities transition from school to adult life in a more seamless manner. Four videos have been created to give students and their families direction during four phases of their life, the three years of transition in the school system (ages 18 to 21) and the year after. Below are four videos followed by the resources outlined in the videos.

The IPTN is designed to provide high-quality guidance, technical assistance (TA), and professional development resources to districts to disrupt segregated systems of disproportionality and reduce exclusionary practices in Washington schools. This will result in improved student outcomes, with an additional focus on the outcomes and the inclusion of students with disabilities having Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities (IDD) and for Black students with disabilities.

Inclusionary Practices Technical Assistance Network (IPTN)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The IPTN is an intentional collective of technical assistance (TA) and support providers working together, in partnership with OSPI and WestED, to increase inclusionary practices for students with individualized education plans (IEPs) across Washington state. While many students with disabilities have benefited from Washington’s increased investment in inclusionary practices, state data show that some student groups are still disproportionately excluded from general education. The IPTN is committed to addressing these inequities by explicitly targeting systems and practices that limit choice and opportunity for these student groups. Employing the science of implementation and improvement, the IPTN drives organizational change to maximize practices that yield positive outcomes for students. IPTN is not just a network; it’s a transformative force shaping the future of inclusive education. Learn more about how the network works and download the network overview. Background of the IPTN Students with disabilities have a federally-protected civil right to access the general education curriculum in their least restrictive environment (LRE). In 2018, the Washington state legislature funded the Inclusionary Practices Project (IPP) to increase student access to core instruction and general education settings. IPP resulted in significant progress in LRE data – meaning that many more students with IEPs are now served in general education settings for 80% or more of the school day. However, despite the overall success of IPP, state data show that two groups of students continue to be systematically excluded from general education settings in Washington schools: Students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) Black students eligible for special education services And over 2/3 of preschool students with disabilities in Washington state are served in segregated early childhood settings. The IPTN, a dynamic expansion of the IPP, is leading a systems-level transformation to eliminate exclusionary practices for all students in Washington state, with a special focus on these student groups. The IPTN is dedicated to improving access to high-quality, standards-based education for students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) and Black students with disabilities. Systemic changes that benefit these populations will also benefit all students and Washington’s education system as a whole.
