Sensory Integration - An essential disAbility Employment Accommodation
'Sensory Integration - An essential disAbility Employment Accommodation'
EnjoyHi5Autism comment on SPD Blogger Network - "Hi5! Thanks SPD Blogger Network for highlighting National Sensory Awareness Month is important because people with disAbilities are disproportionately unemployed in America--- some due to lack of essential accommodations such as Sensory Integration. National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) brings attention to the desire of jobseekers with disAbilities to become gainfully employed. These jobseekers and Employees desire companies to recognize their assets: 'Profit by Investing in Workers with disAbilities'. SPD Blogger Network offers vital information on Sensory Processing Disorder and the need for businesses to be mindful of providing accommodations in the form of Sensory Integration for Employees with disAbilities. 'EnjoyHi5Autism' will share about SPDBN, SPD and SI in our October series for National Sensory Awareness Month, as well as, National Disability Employment Awareness Month."
"...the SPD Blogger Network is taking the month of October to celebrate our senses and raise awareness of sensory processing disorder.
SPD Blogger Network
EnjoyHi5Autism provided a Q & A submission in recognition of both 'National Sensory Awareness Month' and 'National Disability Awareness Month' :
"October is both 'National Sensory Awareness Month' and 'National Disability Awareness Month'. Many jobseekers with disAbilities are relunctant or incapable of working in non-sensory integrated workplaces. Often, Employers desire to hire individuals with disAbilities, but are unsure of how to Accommodate their Sensory Processing Disorder condition. The Office of Disability Employment (Policy) of the U.S. Department of Labor provides information about workplace Accommodations for people with disabilities. What 5 succinct suggestions can SPD Q & A provide as a workplace Sensory Diet for Employees with disAbilities?"
"Thanks for the Sensory Processing Disorder vital website and this Q & A interactive feature. 'EnjoyHi5Autism' will share this Question, and an Answer if provided during the month of October. This SPD Question will be featured on October 2, 2011. If an SPD Answer is provided, 'EnjoyHi5Autism' will post it at http://enjoyhi5autism.blogspot.com. We believe "Life on the Autism Spectrum can be Enjoyable.' Thanks" EH5A
