Sally Lindsay: Our research synthesized the most promising programs and policies to include people with disabilities in the Canadian labour market. And we found that there will be significant implications for employers in how to further include people with disabilities in their workplaces for the further development of programs to help people train to learn more skills, and also for policy, to further include people with disabilities.
I think what would be important is for different agencies to speak to one another a bit more clearly rather than working in silos, so for employers to work with employment service agencies and also with policy-makers and people with disabilities to get a better understanding of how they can be included.
