Inclusion Confusion: What is the SELF-ID Form and Why is it Important?

An estimated 34.2 million US citizens have a disability, yet only 26% of people with a disability are known to be in the workforce. These statistics could change due to movements for inclusion and technology advancements.  However, stigma persists regarding asking and answering the question – do you have a disability?  This Webinar looks at differences between Self-ID and self-disclosure and sheds new light on how this sensitive question makes people act and feel.
