I have gotten into the habit of continually identifying myself before speaking during virtual meetings. There are team members unable to use video, and a variety of accessibility needs we be mindful of. #NDEAM #disabilitysymposium2020 #attitudeofaccessibility #disablethelabel
How are you making sure that ALL your employees have an accessible environment for working remote? What tips do you have to share? #NDEAM2020 #disabilitysymposium2020 #inclusiveworkplaces

People with disabilities make up 18.7% of the working age population, yet almost 70% of those are unemployed. If you or a loved one is looking for employment resources be sure to look at our October #NDEAM Toolkit or call us at 1-800-3-AUTISM.

One bright spot from that debate was remembering that @JoeBiden worked his entire life to overcome a stutter. Still does. He leads, and sets an example simply by being, for so many folks in this country. Kids and adults alike. It requires an elegant courage to do so in public ♥️
