USBLN in USA Today: More Businesses Are Opening Up To People With Disabilities
A recent article published in USA Today reports businesses are becoming increasingly accessible to people with disabilities. The 2017 Disability Equality Index (DEI), a survey conducted by the USBLN and the American Association of People with Disabilities, supports the data.
One in five people in the U.S. have a disability, which is why it’s encouraging that more and more businesses are actively including people with disabilities into their workforce, supply chain, and customer base.
