To promote accessibility and inclusion, NASA\u2019s Mission Support Directorate (MSD) released a video in October 2023 for National Disability Employment Awareness Month. MSD fuels NASA\u2019s Mission Support community, which provides the essential services for NASA\u2019s missions and centers to accomplish their work.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bob Gibbs, the associate administrator of MSD, says the video underscores the importance of accessibility and inclusion at NASA. \u201cPeople are our special sauce at NASA, and they must have the opportunity to bring who they truly are to work,\u201d says Gibbs. \u201cInclusion and belonging foster innovation and groundbreaking ideas, and that leads to even greater success.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Titled <em>Explorers, Adventurers, and Innovators with a Disability at NASA<\/em>, the video features four NASA employees who share their perspectives on accessibility and inclusion at NASA. Featured employees include Gibbs; Theodore (Ted) Gutman, deputy associate administrator for the Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity; Dana Bolles, the NASA responsible official for Science.NASA.gov in the Science Mission Directorate; and Jimmy Acevedo, an education outreach specialist in Exploration and Space Communications.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video also shares resources for employees and supervisors to learn about the disability\u202fcommunity at NASA, how to access information and resources about disability in the workplace, and how to support accessibility and inclusion at NASA. Accessibility focuses on creating an organization in which all people, including people with disabilities, can fully and independently participate. As one of NASA\u2019s core values, inclusion creates an environment where all employees feel welcome, respected, and engaged. <\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"width-full maxw-full margin-left-auto margin-right-auto hds-media-align-inline hds-module wp-block-nasa-blocks-video\"><div class=\"hds-cover-wrapper width-full maxw-full flex-column\"><div class=\"hds-video-container width-full embed-container\"><video title=\"Explorers, Adventures, and Innovators with a Disability at NASA\" id=\"nasa-plus-ArfFB\" class=\"video-js video-player vjs-fluid width-full\" data-setup='{\"controls\":true,\"preload\":\"auto\",\"plugins\":{\"mux\":{\"debug\":false,\"data\":{\"env_key\":\"91nns8oppqdfqc44lgo4b1gni\",\"player_name\":\"www.nasa.gov Player\",\"video_name\":\"Explorers, Adventures, and Innovators with a Disability at NASA\"}}}}'  ><source src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/msd-disability-awareness-video.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\"><p class=\"vjs-no-js\">To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/videojs.com\/html5-video-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">supports HTML5 video<\/a><\/p><\/video><\/div><\/div><div class=\"hds-media-caption hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\"><div>To promote accessibility and inclusion, NASA\u2019s Mission Support Directorate (MSD) released a video in October 2023 for National Disability Employment Awareness Month. <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>National Disability Employment Awareness Month is an effort to educate the public about the issues related to disability and employment. According to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.loc.gov\/disability-employment-awareness-month\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Library of Congress<\/a>, it began in 1945 when Congress enacted Public Law 176, declaring the first week of October each year as National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week. In 1962, the word \u201cphysically\u201d was removed to acknowledge the employment needs and contributions of individuals with all types of disabilities. Some 25 years later, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed the name to National Disability Employment Awareness Month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit the Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity
