Disability Awareness: Working with People with Disabilities

"Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you're needed by someone." - Martina Navratilova

People with disabilities represent a significant and largely underutilized resource for businesses. Many disabled persons are underemployed or unemployed. As a result of advocates for diversity, as well as a shrinking labor pool, employers are taking a serious look at hiring and retaining people with disabilities. This two-day workshop will give supervisors, managers, and human resource consultants tools and tips for creating a diverse workplace.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Prepare to welcome people with disabilities into their workplace Interact with people with disabilities Identify and overcome barriers in the workplace Use respectful, appropriate, acceptable language in any circumstance Understand what their company can do during hiring and interviewing Understand what job accommodation is and how it applies in their workplace
