Over 1 billion people are disabled, you’re are already working with someone disabled
Ensure captions are on (by default)
Appreciate resumes that highlight who the person is and what they have excel at
Focus on talents & passion is a game changer (resume)
“Contract work is a big risk for disabled people.”
Remote work = accessible work. Allows disabled people to manage medical needs and be more productive.
