WHAT DOES THE FUTURE OF WORK LOOK LIKE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
What does the future of work look like for them and how do we prepare them for what is to come?
CREATING A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD
On the demand side, standards for disability inclusion need to be set for the HR community in collaboration with the social sector organizations.
To hire a person with a disability requires a “selection mindset”, because the source is small owing to barriers faced due to lack of accessibility in the ecosystem.
SETTING THE RIGHT EXPECTATIONS
On the supply side, competition and self-expectation are the foundational aspects for PwDs. It’s important to make skills training and upskilling inclusive for diverse disabilities.
ENABLING VIA TECH ADAPTATIONS
Technology and adaptations can help a PwD pick their own choice of work. Many persons with severe and multiple disabilities are working using specific workplace solutions, with the help of technology.

Strategies for Working with People who have Disabilities
There are many ways that disabilities can affect the ability to perform effectively on the job. Levels of disability and ability are unique to an individual.
Here are some simple suggestions will help people with disabilities to fully participate in work-based learning experiences.
For people who have low vision (we are referring to people who have a visual impairment but have some usable sight), examples of accommodations include large print text, handouts, signs, and equipment labels, many photocopy machines can enlarge text. They may also benefit from having career development publications, job instructions, or other printed materials recorded on audiotape.
People with hearing impairments often use some combination of lip-reading, sign language, and amplification to understand spoken information. Individuals with hearing impairments may have difficulty following instructions when delivered in large and open settings, particularly if the acoustics cause echoes or if the speaker talks quietly, rapidly, or unclearly.
Examples of accommodations for people who have hearing impairments include the provision of interpreters, sound amplification systems, note takers, visual aids, and electronic mail for meetings and office discussions. Visual warning systems for emergencies may also need to be installed.
Because a person does not use a wheelchair, have hearing aids, or use a cane does not mean that she does not have a disability. Some disabilities are invisible. These include specific learning disabilities. Individuals with specific learning disabilities generally have average to above average intelligence, but may have difficulties demonstrating knowledge and understanding abstract concepts. Auditory, visual, or tactile information can become jumbled at any point when it is transmitted, received, processed, and re-transmitted.
Examples of accommodations for people who have learning disabilities include audiotaped instructions; a quiet workstation location; visual, aural, and tactile demonstrations incorporated into directions; and computers with voice output and spelling and grammar checkers.

💃Fashion industry joins with not-for-profit organisation Avenue to help those with disabilities get jobs.

Stephanie Trinh-Tran has faced more obstacles than most in following her dream to work in the fashion industry.
The 21-year-old, who lives with autism, was knocked back from fashion courses until she came to not-for-profit disability organisation Avenue, where she works in an order fulfilment team for a clothing label.
"I love the clothes, the prints, the styles and the colours," she said.

Stephanie's mother Julie thought her daughter might never break into the industry.

✅How farming has changed the lives of young autistic workers ❤️

👍A group of autistic young farm workers say the job in a farm has saved them from a potential life of isolation and boredom.

https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-england-oxfordshire-60394476?fbclid=IwAR1EHmD_wO50Hylh3FLnL3SnQD8EIxbqnnPbGcq3IEiE3zL6X55VZ4SvmwM

Farming saves autistic workers from isolation Young autistic people say their lives have been changed by working on an Oxfordshire farm.

🫶„It has transformed my life”: the restaurant where all staff have a disability” .

👍A restaurant in the city of Jerez, in the south of Spain, impressed the culinary world with its extraordinary refinement and food. The first thing that strikes you is the calm, the light, the modern art on the walls and, of course, the food.
❤️Universo Santi is under the auspices of the Universo Accesible Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people with disabilities join the regular workforce.
⭐️The entire staff of the restaurant consists of people with different types of disabilities. "I have always wanted to show what people with disabilities are capable of, with adequate training," says Vila, who is a senior manager at DKV Insurance. "I feel very lucky to be a part of this," says Gloria Bazán, head of human resources, who suffers from cerebral palsy. "It is difficult to work when society sees you only as someone with a disability. This gave me the opportunity to be independent and participate like any other human being. ” Alejandro Giménez, 23 years old, has Down syndrome and is a committed chef. "It gave me the chance to become independent by doing something I enjoyed since I was a child," says Giménez, who lived with his mother until he was recruited. Universo Santi could soon have a star on the Michelin firmament.

👉4 ways to guide students with disabilities to success after high school.

📌Close relationships with teachers, combined with early post-secondary planning, can improve the results on exams in faculty and career outcomes of students with disabilities.
🟪Students with disabilities (SWDs) face a multitude of challenges every day and often need additional support to ensure equitable opportunities during school. This need for guidance does not disappear after graduation and there is a strong argument that more support is needed at this time of transition than at any other time. But the foundations that lead to success after graduation must be laid long before students enter high school.
1️⃣ Create a rigorous, relevant curriculum. The curriculum is a fundamental piece of the puzzle that represents student performance. School systems should ensure that educators are provided with opportunities throughout the year to collaborate to ensure horizontal and vertical alignment. Interdisciplinary collaboration is essential for improving reading, writing and problem solving, while addressing any shortcomings in prior knowledge.
2️⃣ Align transition plans with Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education courses (CTAE ) and student interests. It is imperative that individualized education program (IEP) teams create transition plans that are aligned with students' interests and connect those interests with opportunities in CTAE courses. Firstly, the IEP team and school staff should provide ample opportunities for the student to complete career and interest questionnaires prior to the IEP meeting.
3️⃣ Expose students to many career paths before and during high school. If students are actively involved in a rigorous and relevant curriculum, they should, of course, be introduced in several ways before the transition to high school. This allows students to try to connect their interests and skill sets with potential career paths.
4️⃣ Connect students to real life opportunities. The school curriculum and curriculum must constantly provide options and time for students to experience real-life learning opportunities.
