We’re proud to celebrate NDEAM and this year’s focus on value and talent! At ACCSES, we know employees with disabilities bring tremendous value to the workplace. Keep disability in mind when hiring and help expand opportunity. Thank you, ODEP!

On the anniversary of the Rehab Act, we remember that changes to laws can impact communities for better or worse. Stay vigilant and push back on rules that don’t improve life for the people the law is meant to serve.

“Don’t talk to me of solemn days” — Paul Laurence Dunbar’s Merry Autumn reminds us to celebrate fall’s splendor, joy, and “bursting cheer” that melts into thanksgiving. Happy Fall, y’all!

Wishing you a meaningful fast and a blessed day.

On Constitution Day & Citizenship Day, we honor the Constitution adopted September 17, 1787, and all Americans—by birth or choice. As Benjamin Franklin warned: “A republic. If you can keep it.”

Direct Support Professionals work hard, investing their time, energy, hearts, and bodies in the care of others. This week calls attention to their contributions but truly we should be honoring DSPs every day in ways big and small. They make a difference.

Shana Tova! Wishing you a year filled with blessings, sweetness, and light.

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we remember those we lost and honor the courage of first responders and all who stepped forward to help. We remain grateful for their service, sacrifice, and resilience. Never forget.

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸 Labor Day began with workers and labor activists—not politicians or business owners. It grew state by state until Congress made it a federal holiday in 1894. That, friends, is Democracy in Action! Have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you to everyone who joined us last month in DC for our Summer Conference. We hope to see you again online and in Phoenix this December!

Today we celebrate the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), honoring the progress made toward accessibility, inclusion, and equal opportunity. Together, we continue building communities where everyone belongs. Happy ADA Anniversary!
