The Workplace Disabilities Awareness Program conducts awareness trainings for all types of business entities, including large corporations, small businesses, professional firms, health care providers, and public agencies.
Through use of the Cromwell Method, the program instills an awareness of the potential benefits that result from acceptance of people with all kinds of disabilities. The goal is to create a workplace that respects and provides the same opportunities to employees at all levels, with and without disabilities.
The Workplace Disabilities Awareness Program can:
► Improve teamwork and productivity
► Increase employee satisfaction
► Promote diversity and inclusion in all facets of the workplace
► Enhance an organization’s standing in the community
► Improve interactions with the public and other consumers
The versatility of the program is shown by clients as diverse as senior personnel of a fast food chain, federal prosecutors’ offices, hospital workers and administrators, and municipal librarians.
We customize the program to the needs of each client. Fees depend upon the number and length of sessions and travel involved.

| Additional Comments: |
| **I felt the info was good. I agree that "invisible" disabilities are the most difficult. I had a hard time connecting the "Disabilities Touch Us All" activity. |
| **It has allways been difficult to hear so many profesisonals use language that is not person-first. I hope that this is one of the many changes that will be made in supporting our school community. I wish more parents were here. |
| **Much needed, valuable for our schools |
| **I am hoping that the program will help our young people to get the message out and they'll carry it with them to improve our community, state, world. |
| **I believe we have a very educated/aware staff in our district, but training is always good because there is always new info and ways of looking at things. Thank you! |
| **More training sessions for parents at the community level. |
| **It was great getting into different groups and then have everyone talk about it together. I really think the students will benefit from the program. |
| **Excited that my 3rd grader is being exposed to this, thanks! |
