Episode Synopsis "What can we do to include people with chronic illnesses and disabilities in tech?"

Someone on my team members has a disability - what do I do? This is a question that crosses the path of many in tech, specifically engineering managers. And even if it doesn’t there is a high chance that there is someone on the team who is not “out”. Chronic illnesses, disabilities and neurodiversity are very common among tech employees. In the podcast, I talk about what managers and colleagues in tech need to know to meet this situation well - from definitions to toolset. That way, people from all walks of life will feel welcome in the team.
