While short, this specific video segment provides a great introduction and description about the importance of having a system in place - a system that’s clear in describing the processes for individuals to request accommodations, and how those requests will be processed and enforced.

Disability is part of the natural diversity of human life. It touches all of us, whether through our own individual experience or that of a family member, neighbor, friend or colleague. As such, we all have a role in—and benefit to gain from—advancing equality for people with disabilities in all sectors of society, including the workplace.
