DSSA also wants to highlight that October is Disability Employment Awareness Month!💼

Despite progress in disability rights and supported employment, people with disabilities continue to face barriers when accessing and maintaining employment. Inaccessible workplaces, misconceptions about ability, and discriminatory hiring practices can limit opportunities.

Inclusive employment benefits everyone. Let’s work toward a future, where everyone has the opportunity to participate, contribute, and succeed.💙

🧡October is Learning Disabilities Awareness Month🧡

Learning disabilities can affect how individuals process, understand, retain, and communicate information.

When learning environments are built around only one way of learning, unnecessary barriers can arise. We encourage our campus community to challenge perceptions, respect lived experiences, question assumptions, and speak up when you notice barriers to accessibility.

Creating a more inclusive campus starts with the everyday actions we take and the assumptions we’re willing to challenge.💙

Disability awareness doesn’t end when the month does.

Listen. Learn. Question. Act.
