Foundations of Disability Inclusion: Building Blocks of Disability Inclusion: Myths, Etiquette & Everyday Practice

August 4, 2026 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM (CDT)

Description

Part of the 2026 Inclusive Leadership Workshop Series, presented by American Century Investments, Hallmark, and JE Dunn Construction. Our 2026 Presenting Diversity Sponsor is CommunityAmerica Credit Union.

Disability inclusion is more than a policy—it’s a day-to-day practice that shapes culture, strengthens teams, and fuels innovation. This four-part, highly interactive series, presented by the Center for Disability Inclusion (CDI) in partnership with the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, provides practical, step-by-step tools for building workplaces where people can thrive.

Building Blocks of Disability Inclusion: Myths, Etiquette & Everyday Practice

In this first session, participants will build confidence and clarity around how to start disability inclusion at work. Through digital game-based activities, table-level engagement, storytelling, case studies, and group discussion, attendees will:

  • challenge common myths and assumptions
  • practice inclusive language and workplace etiquette
  • strengthen inclusive interviewing and interaction skills
  • prepare for deeper topics in future sessions, including mental health stigma and caregiver inclusion

Designed for professionals across industries and business sizes—new hires, employee groups/ERGs, people managers, and leaders shaping inclusion strategies—participants will leave with practical tools and shared experiences that support a culture of belonging and resilience.
