    “Interacting with Job Seekers and Employees with Disabilities, How to Onboard or Retain an Inclusive Workforce”

    Objective: The session will educate the audience on how to interact with people with disabilities in their place of business whether they’re applicants with disabilities or current employees who have acquired a disability. This will tie into a discussion on providing reasonable accommodations during the application and hiring process as well as providing on the job accommodations. The last part of the session will include small group activities on assessing case studies on providing reasonable accommodations in the workplace.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Participants will have at least one misconception about disability clarified.
    2. Know at least three things about reasonable accommodations.
    3. Will show they have a better understanding of reasonable accommodations by knowing common reasonable accommodations for at least three types of disabilities.
    4. Will be able to calculate the return on investment (ROI) of providing reasonable accommodations.
    5. Know at least two resources on reasonable accommodations.
