In 10 episodes we aim to have conversations with folks who have disabilities, and those who are also accessibility allies, to help change the narrative. Throughout the series we chat with business managers, adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, organizations, government, and institutions working in the space of accessibility; who all support adults and children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. A lot of the conversation is educational, but is also about finding friendship, community and success in an accessible Nova Scotia. Support for this community is a choice, and it is about creating social and economic opportunities through fair wage jobs, and enhancing life skills. It's not hard to make some small changes to be a more inclusive workplace and society. The benefits are many including, economic, the bottom line of your business, and positively changes workplace culture.
