October brings a full slate of awareness observances that connect closely to the values behind our programming. This month includes:
- Disability Employment Awareness Month
- Light It Up! For NDEAM
- Invisible Disabilities Week
- Learning Disabilities Awareness Month
- World Cerebral Palsy Day
- World Sight & Blindness Awareness Month
At Purple Carrots, we work with neurodiverse and diverse participants year-round, so these observances aren’t just dates on a calendar for us — they reflect the communities we build our programming around. From celebrating the value of disability employment to recognizing invisible and learning disabilities, October is a good reminder of why accessible, inclusive spaces matter.
We hope this month sparks conversation, awareness, and action in your own circles too.
