Americans with Disabilities Act 25th Anniversary Timeline - Disability & Employment

Office of Disability Employment Policy

________________________________________________________________

2001

Following a 1999 recommendation from the Presidential Task Force on Employment of Adults with Disabilities, Congress establishes the Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), a sub-cabinet level agency within the U.S. Department of Labor. This landmark occasion created, for the first time ever, a permanent entity to focus on disability within the context of federal labor policy.
