COVID-19 and the Workforce:

Intersections of Cornavirus, Employment and Disability Inclusion

Disability:IN Wisconsin would like to inform and share with you the following resources Disability:IN, has compiled to support your disability inclusion work during COVID-19.

As we work together and learn during this unprecedented time, we are guided by two broad principles:

Designing and implementing responses to COVID-19 that are based on facts, objective evidence, and science; and
Ensuring that our responses are genuine, effective, and meaningful by taking into consideration the functional needs of all employees, including individuals with disabilities through the provision of reasonable accommodations, including accessible websites, online systems, mobile apps and other forms of information and communication technologies.

Please know that more resources will be added as they become available. If you have a resource that isn’t listed but should be, please email the Executive Director id Disability Wisconsin JudyQuigley@disabilityinwisconsin.org
