Steps You Can Take

Making Teams Accessible

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single footstep."
Lao Tse

  • Learn more and align yourself with people with disabilities, their friends and advocates. Believe in opportunity for all and work to bring it about.

  • Change attitudes. Help to educate others. Take and give sensitivity training and awareness sessions for staff.

  • Rethink how we usually perceive people with disabilities and how we traditionally do business. Reach out and involve people with disabilities in your organization's programs.

  • Use local recruiting sources and disability related organizations to identify qualified job applicants with disabilities, including those from culturally diverse backgrounds. Include minorities with disabilities in job coaching and upward mobility training programs.

  • Make a commitment to tell the story. Publicize your successes.
