What IS “Crazy” is…
The prevalence of “Misguided Diversity Programs”
Roadblocks deterring successful inclusion…
1. Diversity Programs Lack Comprehensive Inclusion Initiatives ⇒ 
2. Disclosure is too risky for most ⇒ 
3. The ADA reinforces stigma and disability ⇒
4. Labels – inconsistency, generalization, and identity ⇒
5. Conflicting Campaigns Reinforce Stigma ⇒
6. “Unconscious Bias” needs to be addressed ⇒
7. Trainers Lack Expertise – One size does NOT fit all ⇒
8. Adults with Disorders may require Social Skill Remediation ⇒
9. Integration of psychologists is necessary to ensure discrete
“SUPPORTED” employment ⇒
10. Affordable Healthcare is NOT affordable for many ⇒
11. Discrimination is inherent in Supported Employment ⇒ 
12. The façade of Philanthropy – Driven by ROI and profit ⇒
Be Counted! Illuminate Mental Diversity at Work.
There is safety (AND strength) in numbers. “All for one, and one for all.”
