Calculating Disability into the Equity Equation

Webinar

October 19, 2022 @ 10:00 am 11:30 am CDT

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and Disability:IN Arkansas is proud to host a presentation on Calculating Disability into the Equity Equation. Hear from Sources, a community independent living service for persons with disabilities, about how employers can provide creative accommodations for candidates and employees with disabilities and discover ways to be more inclusive as leaders.

As businesses continue to focus efforts toward creating equitable work experiences for employees, it is important to recognize the crucial role of employees with disabilities and involve them in the journey. In this presentation, Sources Employment Director Howard Funkhouser, M.S., L.A.C. will discuss key considerations for employers and give an overview of offerings (at no cost to employers) to provide creative options for candidates and employees with disabilities as well as learning opportunities for employees interested in becoming more inclusive.  

Learning Objectives:

  • Introduce attendees to Sources, an Arkansas-based organization committed to providing services, support and advocacy for individuals with disabilities and their families.
  • Discuss various opportunities to support individuals with disabilities and their caregivers as well as opportunities for employers to get involved.
  • Provide practical ideas and guidance for navigating accommodation and support for individuals with disabilities and those who care for them.
