People with barriers to finding employment whether it's mental, physical, emotional etc...have to adapt everyday to achieve their goals. October may be the month dedicated to looking at these issues, but as illustrated in these articles below and beyond, the lack of people with disabilities in the workforce is a staggering issue. Regardless, I did a search to see what kind of new stories came up about how people were using this opportunity to get some awareness out. If you run across any, please share.
