American Association of People with Disabilities
The AAPD is an organization that promotes policies and legislation to help individuals with disabilities find work and assists businesses with improving their practices and mentorship programs.
The organization’s aims are to provide tools for individuals so they can become self-sufficient and more independent by improving accessibility to employment opportunities.
AAPD works primarily with governments and businesses to help get rid of discrimination and create more job opportunities for those who are disabled or have special needs. The AAPD also works with the U.S. Department of Labor and the U.S. Business Leadership Network to promote inclusion and positive outcomes for individuals with disabilities.
It’s so important that we continue to educate the public and reform our standards for the workforce to be all inclusive and these companies are doing wonders for the special needs community by creating and fostering environments where all feel welcome.
We are grateful to our
awesome sponsors.
