It’s here—the new year with a renewed focus for your organization.

Maybe you are new to the world of disability, and the numbers of the community surprised you (1 in 4 in the US!). So, you want to dive deeper into understanding your disabled employees, coworkers, and customers. Or better yet, want to start hiring disabled talent.

Perhaps you’ve had the preliminary meetings to prioritize disability inclusion this year but don’t know where to begin.

Or, you are setting aside your training budget and realize there isn’t anything dedicated to disability awareness.

Great news....the time is now, and we at AllAbility Solutions can help!

Remarks from our Founder & CEO, , on this special day:

"Happy 33rd Anniversary Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)!

May we remember that the ADA is the floor, not the ceiling. Let's keep working together to ensure disability inclusion is a forethought, not an afterthought."

Don’t be so quick to rush to judgment.

70% of disabilities are invisible.

You never know what it entails for some people to do everyday tasks that we may take for granted.

There is not one job in the world that a person with a disability can not perform well.

If you think we are incorrect, give us a chance to prove you wrong with one of our talented candidates. Leave No Ability Behind!






Image Description: A Blue background. White lettering at the top that says, "If you have a disability you can't do that type of job! Say's Who? In the middle is a picture of a woman smiling at the camera. She is wearing a bright green shirt and glasses. She is sitting at a desk, holding a pen, and a laptop is open in front of her. At the bottom is the AllAbility Recruiting logo.

It’s one thing to say everyone is welcome.

It’s another to have accessibility so that can truly be the reality.

Underneath the image in white lettering, it says, "Say's Who?".

A 2020 survey report prepared by the Job Accommodation Network (JAN) for the Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy showed that 56% of workplace accommodations for employees cost absolutely nothing to execute. The remaining ones typically cost just $500.
 
The best $500 you’ll ever invest.
