About
According to the recent World report on disability, 15% of the world's population is disabled. Among that group could be numbered famous physicists such as Isaac Newton, Paul Dirac & Stephen Hawking. This presentation will provide some basic data about global disability, and the socially-imposed barriers which disabled people face. It will also offer some practical suggestions on how to respect and include people with disabilities in the workplace.
