Our third National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) webinar is happening this Thursday, October 22, 1-2 p.m. Central Time via Zoom!

Accommodation requests are a symptom of systems that weren't designed inclusively in the first place. This session makes the strategic case for universal design to organizational leaders.

Robin Kacyn, Director of Inclusion and Outreach, will share and discuss real-life examples of how proactively building inclusive experiences, addressing environmental factors and considering social and emotional needs for neurodivergent individuals reduces friction, increases productivity and benefits everyone, regardless of ability.

Our second National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) webinar is happening this Thursday, October 15, 1-2 p.m. Central Time via Zoom!

For leaders across government, education and nonprofit organizations, digital accessibility often gets treated as a legal checkbox. It's actually a strategic issue and a service-quality issue.

This session, developed in partnership with RaLytics, empowers you to consider the digital systems your organization already owns and ask who they might be leaving behind.

You'll come away with practical guidance you can put to use right away, plus a clearer sense of which systems are worth auditing first.

"Neuro differences such as ADHD, autism, and dyspraxia aren’t what’s holding Americans back at work. It’s the workplace itself, which is still built around narrow definitions of professionalism: the pace, communication style, meeting culture, and unspoken rules."

And today’s youngest workers may be bearing the brunt. Here’s what needs to change.
