In honor of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, check out this WISH-TV interview with Vice President of Adult Services Brian Norton.
Norton’s testimony serves as an insightful reminder of the value that people with disabilities can add to the workplace — from providing diverse perspectives and reaching new demographics to bringing about accommodations that benefit all employees.
Despite this, only 20% of people with disabilities are employed. This month is an opportune time to learn about the positive impact people can make by increasing that statistic.
This interview highlights the importance of recognizing and harnessing the talents of individuals with disabilities in the workforce.
