Celebrating Disability Employment Awareness Month:
Discovering Hidden Abilities Through Person-Inspired Planning
Tullio Orlando
Each October, we recognize Disability Employment Awareness Month—a time to highlight the valuable contributions that people with disabilities bring to workplaces and communities. It is also a call to action: to continue building environments where individuals are seen for their strengths, supported in their goals, and celebrated for the unique talents they bring forward.
At the heart of this movement is a belief we hold deeply: when people are truly understood, encouraged, and supported, their abilities flourish in ways that may have once seemed hidden.
Through our person-inspired planning process, we don’t just look at challenges. Instead, we explore the whole person: their passions, strengths, and aspirations. This approach creates a “montage” of possibilities—illuminating how diverse abilities can transform barriers into opportunities.
