To whom it may concern, 

In today's competitive talent and recruiting landscape, smart businesses understand the importance of hiring for talent rather than falling prey to outdated misconceptions. Yet outdated myths still keep many from tapping into a highly skilled workforce.

It's time to shift the narrative. Disability inclusion isn't just about compliance - it's a business advantage. Companies that embrace inclusive hiring see cost savings, higher innovation and retention, and better employee satisfaction.

❌Myth 1: Disability is always visible.
✅Reality: Many disabilities, such as mental health conditions, chronic illnesses, and learning challenges, are not always apparent. Inclusive workplaces recognize that disability is a spectrum and focus on fostering an inclusive culture.
 
❌Myth 2: People with disabilities can only do certain jobs.
✅Reality: Disability does not define skills. We have successfully placed professionals with PhDs, medical degrees, and technical expertise in competitive roles. The belief that disabled employees can only fill limited positions is false.
 
❌Myth 3: Disability = lower productivity.
✅Reality: Companies that emphasize disability inclusion perform better. Accenture's report, "The Disability Inclusion Imperative," found that these businesses generate 1.6 times more revenue, 2.6 times more net income, and double the profit of their competitors. They are also 25% more likely to excel in productivity, measured as revenue per employee.
 
❌Myth 4: Accommodations are expensive.
✅Reality: A report by the Job Accommodation Network (JAN) found that 56% of workplace accommodations are free for employers. For those that do have costs, the median expense is just $300. Employees with disabilities are also more likely to stay with companies where they feel valued, lowering turnover costs.
