Think Differently with Dr. Theresa Haskins The Dilemma of Disclosure for Accomodations
In this compelling episode, we explore the world of disability disclosure in professional settings. As we all strive for success, the question arises: Should one have to reveal a disability to receive necessary support?
We dissect the term "reasonable accommodations" and its subjective nature, exploring how it can vary widely from one organization to another. Discover the challenges rooted in prejudice, discrimination, and stigma that persistently affect individuals with disabilities, even when they possess the skills required for the job.
Join us in envisioning a world where proactive accommodations are the norm. In this episode, we challenge the status quo, questioning why disclosure is necessary when universal design principles can be readily applied today. Together we reevaluate whether disclosure should be a prerequisite for workplace support, pushing organizations to prioritize inclusivity and create environments where everyone can thrive.
