If you know someone or are living w a disability, check out the KC DiversAbility College & Career Fair, put on by The Transition Academy, @DSGKC and @SherwoodCenter. Get on-the-spot help with employment, education and government assistance. Thursday, April 6th.
Employment for workers with disabilities has reached a record high, but one Kansas City mom says it's not enough. Local groups are taking a more individualized approach to hiring, and finding ways to erase barriers. @KCURUpToDate has more.
