Why does your organization need disability awareness training?
A lot of organizations have a mandate or desire to be more inclusive, but don’t know where to start. With over a quarter of Canada’s population living with a disability, every employer, service provider, and government organization would benefit from a better understanding of disability.
Disability awareness training is crucial because it helps organizations to:
Successfully recruit, hire, and retain persons with a disability
Improve outcomes for clients, customers, patients, and students
Provide person-centered care and services for persons with a disability
Increase access to programs, services, and spaces
Improve customer service
Effectively engage and communicate with a diverse population
Develop policy, programs, and services that meet the needs of people of all abilities
Better understand and meet the standards outlined in accessibility legislation
Gain the knowledge needed to include disability in DEI programs and priorities
