Welcome to Audio Learning from Assemble You.

If you’re looking to explore disability and employment and discover ways to foster inclusivity in the workplace, this one’s for you.

This lesson covers the importance of recognising differences, promoting accessibility, and understanding societal barriers to inclusion. We’ll emphasise the need to combat stigma, challenge ableist attitudes, and engage in open conversations about adjustments. 

You’ll discover the definitions of equity and fairness and the importance of tailored intersectional support. The lesson focuses on autonomy, choice, and effective communication and highlights how non-disabled allies play a crucial role in amplifying marginalised voices.
