Application able-ing: Disclosing disability in job applications

In this webinar, Janice Lam shared findings from a pilot study on how persons with disabilities approach disclosure in job applications.

The session explored a less discussed area: how disability related achievements, such as scholarships, awards, or community work, are shared or withheld during the application process. It also reflected on how social stigma can shape these decisions and impact career advancement.

Janice highlighted key insights, early findings, and what this means for more inclusive hiring practices.
