Who: Daniel R. Kuespert, PhD, CSP 

When: Thursday, October 13 th , 7-8 pm 

Where: Virtually over zoom 

Registration: Free through this link

Abstract: Many disabilities are “hidden,” that is, not immediately evident to the untrained observer. Limitations such as chronic fatigue syndrome, neurological disorders, and mental disabilities such as serious mental illnesses fall in this category, and in some cases, workers with disabilities are not willing to disclose that status. Depending on the design of the workplace, this may or may not introduce occupational safety issues. How does one design work and a workplace both safe and welcoming to those with hidden disabilities? The answer lies in examining and questioning design assumptions that rely on workers being fully abled.
