For many people with disabilities, employment is fraught with barriers that can have lifelong consequences of poverty, dependence, and exclusion. No one person, family member, professional, or policy maker is responsible for making employment a reality. This responsibility rests on all of our shoulders. This presentation will challenge attendees’ values, expectations, and approaches to supporting people with disabilities in employment, including those with significant barriers. It will also highlight important ways the various stakeholders can hold each other accountable to ensure that our collective attention is focused on what really matters - a quality life.
