Stereotypes Around Disabilities

New Micro-Learning! People with disabilities live normal, happy lives and most of the time are very independent and self-sufficient. Don’t offend someone by assuming that they cannot do something or that they have to have your help, rather be willing to offer if it is desired. These stereotypes often lead to bias. Embracing our differences… as well accepting each other… are key components to creating a respectful and inclusive workplace where we all want to participate… and stay!
