Day 14: Explore Work Opportunities for Adults with Disabilities

Everyone aspires to achieve meaningful employment and earn the accompanying feelings of confidence and a sense of importance. Everyone desires a life of self-sufficiency and independence gained by a consistent flow of income. But unfortunately, often because of misconceptions and stereotypes, too many within the disability community are not provided with the opportunities to achieve these universal goals.

Not only are many of those with special needs equally capable of performing job requirements, but they also provide fresh, unique perspectives on various business operations. To succeed in “main-stream” settings, individuals with disabilities are usually required to show well above-average determination, motivation, and commitment—attitudes all employers long for in their workers

Let’s not discriminate on the basis of superficial differences. Let’s improve our businesses by capitalizing on the abilities and experiences of those with special needs. Let’s promote inclusion in the workplace.
