President Obama has issued a Proclamation marking October 2012 as National Disability Employment Awareness Month. In his proclamation, he urged everyone to “recognize the indispensable contributions people with disabilities make in our economy and recommit to building a country where each of us can realize the full extent of our dreams.”
