Embedding accessibility into the workplace: A step towards full inclusivity

This year’s National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) theme, Disability: Part of the Equity Equation, led us to reflect on our own workplace and how Mathematica incorporates diverse voices from people with disabilities throughout our organization. We approached this from two different perspectives. Naomi is an employee with a disability who chose to work at Mathematica in part because it was consistent with her goal of working in an accessible and inclusive environment. Jody has been at Mathematica for more than 16 years and has conducted a range of research projects related to disability and employment. She seeks to be a strong ally of co-workers with disabilities.
