#DidYouKnow today is National Disability Independence Day? On this day in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed, prohibiting discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life. Since then, workplaces have become more inclusive, but there's always more to do! Advocate for inclusivity in your workspace by: 💙 Providing captioned phones and video meetings with AI-produced captions. 💙 Creating adjustable and spacious workstations. 💙 Offering flexible hours and remote work options to eliminate transportation barriers These are just a few ways to make your workplace more disability friendly! Let's continue working towards a more accessible future together. #DisabilityIndependenceDay #ADA30 #DisabilityPrideMonth #PositivelyPartners

What steps can we take to promote disability inclusion? Disability refers to the partial or total loss of function in any part of the body, whether physiological (functional) or psychological (mental). (WHO, 1980) Understanding disability begins with recognizing its foundation — impairment. By understanding its causes, we can work towards building a more inclusive society.To promote disability inclusion, we can:Raise awareness about disability and its various forms.Ensure accessibility in workplaces, public spaces, and digital platforms.Encourage equal opportunities in employment, education, and healthcare.Support laws and policies that protect the rights of people with disabilities.Foster a culture of empathy, respect, and inclusivity.#DisabilityInclusion #SocialWork #WHO

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month(NDEAM). This is a month for celebrating workers with disabilities and the value they add to workplaces. NDEAM’s purpose is for workplaces to commit to making sure disabled workers have access to good jobs, every month of every year. That’s the idea behind this year’s theme: “Access to Good Jobs for All.” NACDD’s Disability Inclusion Network for Tobacco Control and Cancer Prevention believes that to have ‘good jobs for all’ we need to have healthy workplaces for all. Follow along this month as we celebrate NDEAM and share tips on how workplaces can best support employees with disabilities to make sure they are happy, healthy, and successful. #DisabilityInclusionNetwork #NDEAM
