As we wind down NDEAM, we're focusing on the power of opportunity that helps make inclusive employment possible.
Recently, DSC's AJ Zwettler, Director of Employment Services, joined the LEAP Team (Leaders in Employing All People), Ebony DeBerry and Ashley Withers present "LEAP Beyond Compliance: Building a Stronger Workforce Through Disability Inclusion" at the Illinois Association of Rehabilitation Facilities (IARF) conference. Their presentation highlighted how LEAP program helps employers build workplaces where all employees can thrive. Through disability awareness, inclusive communication, workplace accommodations, natural supports, and community partnerships, LEAP provides practical tools that strengthen both businesses and our workforce.
Inclusive employment happens when communities work together. When employers recognize talent, provide opportunities, and create welcoming workplaces, individuals gain meaningful careers, businesses gain dedicated employees, and communities become stronger. Through LEAP and DSC's Employment Services, we can build workplaces where everyone belongs.
