For people with disabilities, the workplace can be tough. We must stay vigilant.

Honored to be named a Legislative Champion at an event promoting disability awareness in employment. Despite the progress, the particulars of the workplace can be tough for anyone, and one’s disability often leaves a person at an additional disadvantage. Your employers and your coworkers can believe that they’re behaving well, but bias and discrimination are insidious. The result, whether intended or not, can add considerable stress to the day-to-day of holding down a job. We have to stay vigilant and we have to be insistent on receiving reasonable accommodations.
