ReThink Ability Episode 4 - “You Don’t Look Disabled”: Stereotypes We’re Still Fighting
Manage episode 494572026 series 3550613
What’s the most common workplace stereotype about disabled people?
According to our live “Family Feud”-style panel game: "They’re not as capable as their peers."
In this fiery and funny episode of Rethink Ability, host Danny Gluch is joined by five powerhouse advocates and professionals to unpack the lazy assumptions, outdated beliefs, and quiet biases that disabled folks still face at work — especially if their disability isn’t visible.
We’re getting real about:
- Why being “well-intentioned” isn’t enough
- The real cost of rest — and why it’s not accessible for everyone
- Spoon theory, short-term disability nightmares, and energy budgeting
- How workplaces can move beyond performative allyship
- Turning accommodations into standard practice (hint: they cost less than your happy hour)
Whether you're navigating your own disability, managing someone who is, or ready to unlearn what society taught you, this episode brings both insight and action.
