Yesterday was International Day of Persons with #Disabilities and this message by Tiffany A. Yu, MSc and shared here by Bonnie St. John will ALWAYS be important. Take time to watch this 5-minute video. It provides insights for not only recruiters and employers but for all who are a part of the workforce. One of my favorite quotes is  "Recruiters, human resources staff, managers, they tend to think of hiring people with disabilities as a social good or as something they have to do to meet a quota. But they should be hiring disabled people because of our strengths and all of the value and innovation we can bring." -Tiffany Yu How to Help Employees With Disabilities Thrive | The Way We Work, a TED Conferences series.

🌐 Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities. It's not just a day of awareness but a call to action for inclusive policies, accessible environments, and equal opportunities. Tiffany Yu's video on workplace inclusion and accessibility is a must-watch! She makes such an important point about why disability inclusion is needed in every workplace. "About 62% of employees with disabilities have ones that are not apparent. So even if you think there aren't people with disabilities in your organization, there probably are." 💥 Please take the time to watch her five-minute video. We can all take meaningful steps to dismantle barriers in our workplaces and support tangible, lasting improvements in the lives of people with disabilities. #IDPD #DisabilityRights #InclusionNow #EqualityMatters https://lnkd.in/eMBM8rPG

#ADA is 33 today! The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed in 1990, yet there is still much work to be done to eliminate barriers so that people of all abilities have equitable access - to buildings, to jobs, to education, to public spaces, and more, and can thrive. Developmental FX is engaged in this important work every day in ways large and small. #equity #access #engagedbelonging #therapythatfits #AmericansWithDisabilitiesAct

Did you know March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month? It's a time to acknowledge the diverse strengths and potential within our communities. This year's theme, "A World of Opportunities," crafted by the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities, serves as a reminder to break down barriers and foster inclusivity, creating a community where everyone can succeed. As we navigate through this month, let's reflect on ways we can drive change: 1. Inclusion Benefits Everyone: Embracing diversity and including individuals of all abilities helps our communities flourish. Let's create spaces where everyone feels valued and empowered to shine. 2. Awareness Leads to Action: Let's not just talk about change; let's make it happen. By acknowledging and addressing barriers, we can create a more inclusive society where everyone has equal opportunities to thrive. 3. Overcoming Barriers Together: Whether physical or social, barriers exist. With unity and determination, we can identify and overcome them. Let's work together to create environments that welcome and support everyone. 4. Education Is Empowering: Knowledge is key. By educating ourselves and others about inclusive practices, we can build a more compassionate and understanding world. At Awake Labs, we're committed to championing inclusivity every day. Together, let's amplify our efforts and create a world where everyone can succeed. 💙 #DevelopmentalDisabilities #InclusionMatters #DDawareness2024 #DDAM2024 #AWorldofOpportunities #AwakeLabs #EmbraceTheDifference #InclusionMatters #Innovation #Empowerment #Inclusion #DisabilitySupport #Improvingqualityoflife #EveryoneIncluded #InclusionRevolution #EmbraceAbilities #DisabilityInclusion #Enablingtechnology #Healthcare #qualityoflife #assistivetechnology #innovation #healthcaretechnology #CognitiveDisabilities #assistivetechnology #technology
