💼 Breaking Myths About Disability Employment 💼

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month ( )—a time to celebrate talent, challenge misconceptions, and foster truly inclusive workplaces.

Let’s debunk some common myths:
❌ Myth: People with disabilities are less productive
✅ Fact: Employees with disabilities bring unique skills, perspectives, and innovation to their roles

❌ Myth: Accommodations are expensive or difficult
✅ Fact: Most accommodations are simple, low-cost, and benefit everyone

❌ Myth: People with disabilities can’t work in professional or high-skill jobs
✅ Fact: Disability doesn’t define ability—talent thrives when inclusion is prioritized

By challenging these outdated assumptions, we create workplaces where everyone’s strengths are recognized and celebrated.
