Interacting with a person with a disability for the first time can be difficult and sometimes awkward for the uninitiated. Nobody wants to accidentally offend anyone with or without a disability, and at the same time, you want to be accommodating and accepting. Moreover, teaching the nuances associated with both the 1990 and 2010 accessibility standards are areas in which Dr. Harding excels. As a contributing author to the 2004 accessibility guidelines (which are now the 2010 standards) and having assisted over 1,000 different public and private entities over the years, he can break these issues down into digestible and understandable parts. As a result, he empowers you to understand and apply these critical inclusion tools to enhance your business, recruit qualified employees and to comply with federal and state laws. This is particularly relevant when it comes to HR departments and employees of commercial facilities interacting with customers, or perhaps a fellow employee, with a disability. Dr. Harding can train your employees and help them find the right balance to be better prepared to assist individuals in corporate and business settings. Dr. Harding can provide sensitivity training for co-existing with a person with a disability, fair housing training and best practices for job accommodations and accessibility accommodations to business managers, general employees and persons with disabilities.
