Flip through to see some other concerning statistics. Although the skills and abilities of individuals with developmental disabilities may differ from person to person, people with developmental disabilities can work as great employees and volunteers with support and assistance.

When is it time for disabled people to feel safe and secure on support programs? When do we finally get treated like human beings?

[SAPH @SAPH_ualberta]

The issue #SAPH has chosen to address this year is the lack of employment opportunities in Canada for adults with development disabilities. Despite promises to employ this demographic, there is still a huge gap in employment opportunities at all levels gvt.

#EmployByExample

[SAPH @SAPH_ualberta]

Our project is #EmployByExample, where we will be advocating for government initiated employment opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities. Join us at our press conference on April 13 where we highlight this gap in our employment systems and provide recommendations

[Karen Kelm @KarenkelmKelm]

Yes, times are challenging. But we all need a equal opportunity.#whatsyournumber @JustinTrudeau

@doniveson
How many employment opportunities will you make available for Canadians with a developmental disability?

[SAPH @SAPH_ualberta]

This is so important!!

[Liz Ryan @humanworkplace]

Now that we have seen how many jobs can be performed perfectly well from home, the next step is for every employer to step up and commit to hiring a lot of disabled employees who cannot commute but could do an incredible job working remotely #disability #Employment #inclusion
