Invisible Disabilities in the Workplace: Barriers to Inclusion
This multi-year project aims to understand how to ensure meaningful participation in the workplace for professionals with invisible disabilities. By recruiting and training persons with invisible disabilities to perform workplace assessments from their point of view, this project will create case studies, recommendations, and a comprehensive survey tool to identify ways that workplaces can update their physical environment to be more inclusive to an often overlooked side of the disability experience.
