Obsessed. @Microsoft I can call the elevator with my foot or wheelchair or maybe my hands are full or I ordered two lattes or I’m pushing a stroller or I’m super into #InclusiveDesign. #AccessibilityScavengerHunt #a11y #wheelchair #MicrosoftLife #LifeHack #Disability

Lindsey Hawkins (R), a returning panelist, reminds us/businesses to "inform other employees to have respect & not be negative or hurt us with their words. Be patient when we begin a job." Be positive! @dsagsl #AFS2019 #DownSyndrome

Julie Brinkhoff @ADAGreatPlains: Focus on what NEEDS to be done & not HOW it will get done. Procedures get in the way; focus on the outcomes, it's ok to ask how a person will complete a task & if they will need an accommodation. #PWD #AFS2019 #interviewtips

[Accommodation For Success @SeeOurAbilities]

Julie Brinkhoff @ADAGreatPlains: Employers, hone in on what you are looking for. Do you need someone at work everyday from 8-5 & punctual, or someone that can manage a project & meet deadlines but be flexible with work hours. #PWD #inclusion #AFS2019 @SCCEconDev
