Hello, folks! This is Jason Carlough's humble return to the podcast! If you haven't heard his backstory, you need to check out our three-part series.
In just a few words, Jason has two decades of experience working in human resources studying the laws and working hard to make things equitable for everyone. Jason is also a recently diagnosed ADHDer!
In this first part, we go over the laws involved, ADA and Sect. 504, how they are supposed to support people with disabilities, disclosure and protected classes, and more!
My appreciation to Jason for coming back on and sharing his knowledge. Also, if you haven't already done so, please subscribe to stay current on all of these wonderful interviews! I have more coming down the line within the next few weeks.
