Meaningful employment is vital for individuals with developmental disabilities. It fosters independence, purpose, and inclusion. As advocates, we must promote disability rights in the workplace, champion reasonable accommodations, and push for inclusive hiring practices.

Whether your business is already actively fostering an inclusive workforce or looking for ways to start, this checklist will help you think about inclusivity of people with disabilities in your business. #NDEAMONTH #DisabilityEmployment #TSEAdvocacy #InclusiveWorkplaces #Empowerment #InclusionMatters

✨ "I have autism, what's your disability" - Cameron, 321 Barista ✨ Happy Disability Pride Month! 🤩 I feel very lucky to interact with people with all types of disabilities every day, and I am better off because of it. One time I was working with one of our baristas named Cameron. If you've ever visited 321 Coffee when Cameron is working, you know you're in for a treat. She greets everyone with a smile and a rapid-fire series of questions like, “What’s your favorite boy band?”, "Who's your cartoon crush?" and “What did you name your car?”. It's AWESOME. One day, Cameron said to a customer, “I have autism, what's your disability?” I saw the customer tense up, and I was ready to step in. I saw the customer exhale and say, "You know, I'm not very good at math". Cameron, with her ever-present enthusiasm, quickly said "Well I'm great at math! If you were born in 1970, you just turned 54!" and the conversation continued. Cameron taught me so much in that moment. She showed me the value of vulnerability and the importance of genuinely connecting with others beyond the surface level. This is just one of the many examples of how you can learn so much from surrounding yourself with people who are different from you. At 321 Coffee, we celebrate people for who they are because there is so much value in diversity. When you put people from different backgrounds together, it challenges the way you think, highlights your blindspots, and offers fresh perspectives. This is what gives us the power to grow and the ability to innovate! This month is all about celebrating the experiences, achievements, and challenges of the disability community. Something that 321 absolutely loves to do (regardless of what month it is!) 🎉 So cheers to being different! #DisabilityPrideMonth #WorkplaceInclusion #Awareness #321Coffee

Don’t be part of the 80% that’s doing nothing. Be the change agent who is doing something to ensure that your employees with disabilities are feeling valued and seen. Here’s a fact - if you have more than 5 employees/people on your team, the odds are you have at least one employee with a disability. Although they might not have felt safe enough to disclose it to you. Now is the time to start shifting your culture around disability inclusivity. It’s not too late! Need help knowing what to do for Disability Pride Month? I am still offering 10% off all services (consultation, speaking engagements, and workshops/presentations) that are scheduled this month. #disabilitypridemonth #disabilityinclusivity

This… is true. There’s also been very little posts on social media across the board in this area. Is it due to the hesitation and anxiousness of what’s happening within our government and the presidential election that’s making companies not push onwards with their commitment for our disability communities? Is it the inflation that is impacting companies where their focus has shifted away from this to that? If so, something’s not right… there should be a balance as one would think. I cannot help but wonder what assessment tools Disability:IN is using to rate all the companies they have rated… Who’s doing these assessments? How are they authentically done with integrity? How are these companies getting high scores when this is the case… this post speaks volumes. Nonetheless, that should not slow us down, but drives us forward, and continue to speak out, speak up, push for changes that need to be made as there still so much to be done for our communities. What can we do to drive our companies to follow through with what they preach? What can we do as a community to recify this? #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityPride #Summer2024 #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #DisabilityInclusion #A11y #AntiAbleism #ADA #DeafBlind #AccessMatters #Forbes #Companies #DisabilityJustice
