About 15% of the world’s population lives with some form of disability. However, disability is often an uncomfortable or taboo topic – we don’t know what to say or how to act, or we think it’s something that isn’t part of our workplace culture. Whether you know it or not, you’re working alongside people with disabilities each and every day. People with disabilities deserve equal opportunity and a work environment where they feel supported, empowered and can thrive. You have a role to play in making work more accessible, and this course can be a part of that journey. Taught by a disabled and autistic instructor, you’re sure to learn from both first-person experience and professional expertise.

In this course, you’re going to learn about:

What disability encompasses
How and what to say to people with disabilities without offending somebody
Best practices for in-person, remote, and hybrid work environments
Bias that disabled employees encounter
Ways that recruitment and hiring can be especially challenging for people with disabilities
Creating a more accessible work environment that benefits all types of workers
Accommodating all types of different people
Building disability inclusion initiatives
Active allyship and inclusion
And more!

Disability doesn’t need to be intimidating, and we’re going to break it down so you can be part of a more inclusive and equitable workplace for all. The future of work, after all, is accessible to everybody.
