The Silent Disability: Overcoming Career Challenges
will be talking about her silent disability, the challenges she has faced throughout her career and how she has overcome them.Nicola Askham
There are many misconceptions surrounding disabilities. For example, some assume that all disabilities are visible, but that couldn’t be more incorrect.
It is not uncommon for those with disabilities to experience discrimination in some way throughout their lives. Through disability awareness, the misconceptions and stereotypes surrounding those with disabilities can be brought to the forefront. When these are gone, attitudes and behaviors become more positive and impactful.
Starting with Yourself
Digging deeper to create a better understanding is a powerful way to raise awareness. It is simply not enough to only recognize that discrimination against people with disabilities is wrong. There must be a greater awareness within each person to distinguish between good and poor practices.
