The drive for inclusion in organizations, both public and private, is helping to open doors to employment for youth with disabilities. In this section, we’ll look at videos and resources that help to dispel some of the myths that have traditionally surrounded hiring people with disabilities–myths about safety, reliability, and accommodation requirements. We’ll also look at resources you can use as you expand your workforce to include youth with disabilities. Many of the organizations profiled in the About section have produced valuable toolkits. Find links to those toolkits below.
