SkysTheLimit.org (“Sky’s the Limit”), a digital community transforming the terrain for entrepreneurial success, is pleased to celebrate all entrepreneurs of all abilities who are pursuing their passions and interests by building their businesses from the ground up.
For many people with disabilities of working age, seeking traditional employment can be a daunting prospect fraught with challenges and uncertainties. Unfortunately, a good number of these relate to whether it will even be possible to gain meaningful employment in today’s labor market, given the general lack of awareness of best practices for disability inclusion in the workplace.
Even for those who are able to successfully navigate the hiring process and get their foot in the door, doubts and insecurities often remain about whether colleagues will be able to understand the day-to-day impact of their disability. Moreover, given that they are entering an established corporate structure with pre-existing protocols, practices and workplace culture, disabled employees may rightly have concerns about their employer’s capacity to adapt to meet their changing and often complex needs.
As unfair as it may be, awareness of disability inclusion in the workplace may be growing, but there is still a long way to go. These are some of the reasons why people with disabilities are starting their own businesses at a rate nearly double that of their peers without disabilities, according to the latest US Census. Research shows that there are four basic reasons why entrepreneurs with disabilities start their own businesses: economic motives; flexibility and self-determination; avoiding discrimination; and personal development and the possibility to contribute something.
