Webinar
Description:
In the US, one of the greatest challenges experienced by
individuals with disabilities is employment. Research
indicates that employer attitudes contribute to this
pervasive problem. Specifically, some employers have
misperceptions about the abilities of individuals with
disabilities and the costs associated with the provision
of accommodations. Understandably, employers are
concerned with the bottom line.
The purpose of the Economic Impact Study was to examine
the economic costs and benefits of workers with
disabilities within three sectors (healthcare, retail,
and hospitality). In this webinar we will present
findings from focus groups with employers and
cost-benefit surveys in which we compared workers with
and without disabilities on a number of work-related
variables. We will also reserve time for discussion of
the implications of these findings.
