October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM)! All month long, I’ve been sharing some of my favorite resources on accessibility and disability inclusion in the workplace.

This post is my last for NDEAM – but check out my webinar tomorrow on Accessibility Testing for Learning and Development! – and I wanted to close out the month with some really impactful TED Talks on disability inclusion in the workplace.

In no particular order, these are some superb TED Talks with a variety of perspectives on disability inclusion at work:

• Ryan Gersava – A Disability Inclusive Future of Work – from TED2022 in April 2022 – a speaker with a story close to my heart – bipolar 2 and a chronic illness! A story of overcoming disability discrimination at work to entrepreneurship by creating an online school.
• Chantel Buck – Rethinking Disabilities in the Workplace – from TEDxEustis in January 2018
• Tiffany Yu – How to Help Employees with Disabilities Thrive – from The Way We Work video series in April 2023 – let’s talk about the disability employment gap, and three things every workplace can do to welcome people with disabilities.
• Delaina Parrish – Why Businesses Must Be Fearless with Disability Inclusion – from TEDxUF in October 2020
• Hannah Barham Brown – Disability and Work: Let’s Stop Wasting Talent – from TEDxExeter in April 2019
• Ben Trockman – Workforce of Ability – from TEDxEvansville in October 2017 – a journey of losing and regaining independence, from a traumatic teenage incident to working life as a disabled individual, supporting others with disabilities along the way.

Also check out the TED Topic area on Disability for playlists, articles, and more talks on disability.

That’s all for NDEAM, but the blog will continue! Stay tuned for recaps of some of my speaking events, study guides for the CPACC and Section 508 Trusted Tester exams, and so much more.
