Did you know?...
In Canada, there are 109, 000 working aged people with developmental
disabilities.
This is between 1-3% of Canada’s
population, and a largely un-tapped
labor source.
People with developmental disabilities are equivalent in performance, safety, and job-attendance to their non-disabled counterparts.
Statistics report that people with
developmental disabilities have .
significantly lower rates of turnover, fewer sick days, and a higher sense of job satisfaction than their non-disabled counterparts.
A common belief is that people with disabilities are not able to work, or do not want to work. This is misconception. People with disabilities want to reap the benefits of paid employment too.
People with disabilities often do not require a lot in the way of workplace adaptations. Adaptations that are made often increase productivity for everyone.
