“People with disabilities bring unique characteristics and talents to the workplace. Statistically, they have lower absentee and lower turnover rates. Businesses that practice inclusion experience increased productivity and higher levels of innovation. All these increase shareholder value." - Jamie Paul Weiner, Manager of Disability Services & Alexander Institute for Inclusion
