Did you know that October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month? The unemployment rate for adults with disabilities is almost triple that of those without a disability in the United States. One of our missions is to encourage companies to start hiring adults with disabilities. Today, we're speaking with Patrick Bardsley, Co-Founder & CEO of Spectrum Designs. They were founded in 2011 to provide jobs for adults with autism and now some of their clients include Google, ABC, Uber and more. We talked to Patrick about why they started the company, the benefits of hiring adults with a disability and how companies can find the right employees to join their team. 

"We have some of the most loyal, dedicated, hardworking, consistent on the planet."

HIRING EMPLOYEES WITH DISABILITIES w/ SPECTRUM DESIGNS

There is comfort in having friends that have been on the same path you're on. We are those friends! Our names are Jackie and Ben, and we have a daughter (Jordyn) and a son (Hudson.) You might know us from the SUMMER SHIRT PROJECT on Instagram, Facebook, and Tik Tok, and maybe you own one of our shirts. (If so ... THANK YOU!) At age two, Jordyn was diagnosed with autism. We started looking for as much input as we could gather so we could be the best possible parents and advocates for her. Over the past two decades we've learned a lot and we are using this podcast to share those lessons, experiences, and resources. Whether you are new to a diagnosis, been on the journey for many years, or simply want to help make the world a better place for individuals with disabilities, this podcast is for you. When you encounter autism (or any disability), the feelings and questions you have are perfectly normal. It's important to talk about these, and we will address them in this podcast. We'll also share what we've done right, what we've done wrong, and what we wish we did differently. We're going to be here for everyone because we need everyone to make the world a kinder place for individuals with disabilities. Welcome to the BE KIND TO EVERYONE podcast. - Jackie, Ben, Jordyn, and Hudson
