In a speech Wednesday Hillary Clinton focused on one group of Americans that has not received too much attention during this election year: people with disabilities.
Clinton called the people with disabilities community “a group of Americans who are, too often, invisible, overlooked and undervalued — who have so much to offer but are given far too few chances to prove it.”
This is the first time a candidate has dedicated a whole campaign event to people with disabilities, a segment of the population that is becoming increasingly more crucial to the workforce, Carol Glazer, president of the National Organization on Disability (NOD), shared with Fair360, formerly DiversityInc.
