A thin silver lining in a year of uncertainty for professionals with disabilities

2020 Disability History Month presents an eerily strange opportunity to highlight a thin silver lining in a year consumed with uncertainty and despondency for individuals with disabilities. This blog entry hopes to honour the occasion and speak to the reader via a quasi-first-person perspective that may well reflect the experiences of a range of professionals with disabilities. It seeks to characterise different facets of past and present occupational environments that affect the work life of people with disabilities. Drawing on scientific evidence and the experiences of professionals with disabilities, an attempt is made to outline a vision of a practically possible inclusive future that will benefit corporations and society on a macro and micro level.
