83 - Jeremy Opperman on Employment and Disability 02 – A Reality Check

Loading player...
Returning to the subject of employment and disability, in this episode inclusion specialist, Jeremy Opperman, and I explore some of the myths that impact on employment.

This is the second phase of Jeremy’s tri-nocular perspective model: the human rights lens, which he refers to as the reality check.

During our conversation we discuss:
1 the prevalence of disability in society
2 Under-employment of persons with disabilities
3 the perceived lack of skills amongst the disabled sector
4 The danger of stereotyping disability
5 the challenge of accessible transport
6 Physical accessibility
7 The indiscriminate nature of disability
