What Partners are Saying About Our
​Disability Inclusion Training

​"I co-lead an employee resource group at a healthcare tech start-up and we were looking for an organization to partner for disability training. We found the Center for Disability Inclusion and just by the number and granularity of the training they showed, I knew this was an organization we wanted to engage with. They helped us understand which training would be best and answered questions about partnerships. The training itself was amazing and the response from our peers was incredible. From the training validating their own feelings or realizations about disabilities to answering questions about stigma and helpful language tips, I would recommend this training to any company at any stage."
Bri Young, Lead of Data Operations, Artera
"Your training webinar on “Celebrating Difference Through Disability Awareness” aligned perfectly with our company’s diversity, inclusion, and equity initiative! We had a record number of employees attend who learned about how to respectfully engage with and respond to disability in the workplace."
CrossFirst Bank
The Center for Disability Inclusion  was the featured Disability Awareness Month speaker at our law firm and provided uplifting, educational and practical information about how to recognize the many essential contributions that the disability community has made to the workforce and beyond. Nearly 100 attendees learned about the history of disability inclusion, the spectrum of disabilities and common myths, and provided practical tips and strategies for creating a more inclusive workplace..
Vanessa Vaughn West (She, Her, Hers), Director - Diversity & Inclusion, Lathrop GPM LLP
"The training the Kansas City FBI received from Center for Disability Inclusion was very insightful. Information was presented in a clear and easy to understand manner and the team's ability to answer questions during the Q&A segment showed that no question could stump you and spoke to your extensive knowledge within the disabilities community. I would recommend this training to all organizations."
Steven Miller, FBI Diversity & Inclusion Coordinator
Mutual of Omaha asked the Center for Disability Inclusion to lead a presentation on "Reducing the Stigma of Mental Illness in the Workplace." The amount of positive feedback we have received from our associates from this session is outstanding! There are many misconceptions around mental health conditions and they were able to help us all raise our awareness and understanding of mental health. The presentation created a safe space for everyone to ask questions, share experiences and help guide next steps for specific situations. It was a great way to influence change and grow allyship in this space. We came away with a better understanding of mental health conditions and tools to guide our conversations with more inclusive language going forward. I highly recommend CDI for training and education for inclusion in the workplace.
Jana Egan HR Consultant | Talent Acquisition, Mutual of Omaha
"At Commerce Bank, we want our team members to feel a sense of belonging. We often start important dialogue with education so we invited the Center for Disability Inclusion to present a workshop "Neurodiversity in the Workplace: What It Is and What It is Not." They debunked myths and bias around neurodiversity, provided information on building a more inclusive workspace and tailored the content to our needs. The session sparked meaningful conversations and is helping us explore how we can build a more inclusive workplace."
Lacy Haden-Peaches, Senior DEI Program Manager, Commerce Bank
"Our team was very impressed by your training, Meaghan. It was a wonderful primer on context and baseline information that was important for us to know and be reminded me of at the start, and then the practices you shared were so actionable. This will really help us advance our planning in service to attendees – and hopefully some of our work and learning can be a resource for our members and partners. Your expertise and partnership is MUCH appreciated!"
