Creating a Disability-Friendly Workplace
EDRN can help you create a welcoming environment for applicants and employees with disabilities by assuring the facilities are accessible, by training staff in appropriate interviewing techniques and/or in making reasonable accommodations. We can also provide your staff with information on disability etiquette not only for co-workers, but for greeting and serving customers with disabilities in the workplace.
Here are a few resources that can help:
- Recommended Disability-Friendly Business Checklist
- Basic Etiquette: People with Disabilities
- Accessible and usable websites
- Questions About Service Animals
- Information on Deafness: http://clerccenter.gallaudet.edu/InfoToGo/index.html
- Relay Iowa - http://www.relayiowa.com Telecommunications relay service provides full telephone accessibility to people who are deaf, hard-of-hearing or speech impaired.
