The Business Case for Workers with Disabilities. It's Not About "Hiring the Handicapped" Anymore
Modern Disability is about business. It's not about charity. It's not about making sacrifices.
Modern Disability is about a dramatic, new truth. It's an amazing story: people with disabilities have been at the center of dramatic, historic changes that have removed artificial obstacles and expanded possibilities. For a wide range of reasons, they are more able than ever before!
That means business. That means a pool of talent that is poorly understood, if at all. That means people who are your customers with real and growing disposable incomes.
JR Harding
Nearly one in every five people in the United States has a disability — this equals 57 million Americans. It is important, and it is the law, that your businesses and buildings are accessible, programmatically inclusive and sensitive to the needs of individuals with disabilities. If your business is not accessible, you are essentially excluding 20% of both potential customers and prospective employees.
People like to shop where they feel comfortable and get an added value. Dr. Harding helps clients navigate through the unfamiliar landscape of persons with disabilities and offers up-to-date disability rights information and resources.

Everyone involved in planning, design, construction, maintenance and owning/operating a building with a bathroom needs this book. Although it was written with public and commercial washroom designs in mind, the information also applies to residential spaces. No matter what kind of bathroom you are building, it’s always easier to move a line on paper — before it is a permanent wall.
