On day three of NDEAM, neba would like to bring awareness to October also being ! This month reaffirms that people with down syndrome are just like everyone else and deserve to be in the work place.

The first quote of NDEAM 2025 is from Thomas Paine: โ€œWe have it in our power to begin the world all over again.โ€

We believe every inclusive opportunity is a fresh beginning.๐Ÿ™Œ

There is no time like the present to start reshaping the world. By creating employment opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities, organizations can help reimagine a workforce that is stronger, more diverse, and more innovative. ๐Ÿ’ผ

We rounded out celebrating our DSPs on Friday with new neba swag and tickets to The Big E.

On behalf of neba's leadership team CEO Jeannine Pavlak sent these words of thanks to our DSPs "Every day, you go above and beyond to empower individuals with disabilities to live meaningful, self-directed lives. Your commitment to dignity, inclusion, and opportunity is the heart of our mission. Whether itโ€™s through building trusting relationships, supporting employment journeys, encouraging independence, or ensuring people are fully included in their communitiesโ€”you make a difference that cannot be measured. We know the work you do isnโ€™t always easy, but it is always essential. Please know that your efforts are deeply valued and appreciatedโ€”not just this week, but every day of the year."
