Working with and Serving Individuals with Disabilities: Practical Tips for Accommodations and Etiquette
More than 54 million people in this country are affected by a disability. Developing relationships with people with disabilities is no longer a rare event. This seminar provides you with practical information and useful tools for working and communicating with disabled individuals, including the use of accurate language and appropriate questions.
Examine trends that project the legal needs for people with disabilities for the next five to ten years and learn how lawyers can benefit by increasing their accessibility to the largest underrepresented group in the nation. Become familiar with community resources that help businesses meet state and federal disability laws and assist individuals in the workplace. Understand how simple changes, such as using a larger font size on documents for a client with limited vision, and assistive technology can enhance your communication skills. Also view a video presentation, The Ten Commandments of Communicating with People with Disabilities.
Disability does not discriminate. People have disabilities regardless of ethnicity, education, gender, age, or socioeconomic class. It touches nearly one out of every two adult Americans. This is a key opportunity to learn what it means to be a person with a disability in our society and how to professionally cultivate an environment of inclusion and integration.
