North American Inclusion Month (NAIM) is an annual observance that raises awareness and fosters inclusion for people with disabilities. Held every February, NAIM emphasizes the importance of community, diversity, and the inclusion of individuals with disabilities in all aspects of society.

The initiative began to promote inclusion within the Jewish community and has since broadened its scope to encompass all aspects of North American society by highlighting the importance of including people with disabilities in all facets of society, from education and employment to religious and community life. NAIM seeks to educate the public about the abilities and potential of individuals with disabilities and to challenge common misconceptions and stereotypes.NORTH AMERICAN INCLUSION MONTH ACTIVITIES
Throughout the month, various events and activities promote understanding and inclusion. These include educational programs, awareness campaigns, workshops, and community events. Schools, workplaces, and community centers often participate in NAIM by hosting special events, promoting inclusive practices, and engaging in discussions about disability and inclusion. The month also allows advocacy groups to highlight legislative and policy initiatives to improve the lives of people with disabilities.
NAIM has become an essential platform for raising awareness and advocating for the rights and inclusion of people with disabilities. It has helped to foster a dialogue about the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and how society can work towards becoming more inclusive.
North American Inclusion Month serves as a vital reminder of the importance of embracing diversity and ensuring that individuals with disabilities can participate fully in all aspects of life. By promoting awareness, understanding, and action, NAIM contributes to the ongoing effort to create a more inclusive and accessible society.
