In 2025, many people with lived experience of disability in the United States are navigating a landscape marked by uncertainty. Major shifts in the political landscape, changes to disability policies and growing concerns around inclusion in the workplace have understandably created anxiety. Will the rights we’ve fought so hard for be protected? Will equitable access to employment continue to be a priority?
If you’re feeling uncertain right now, you’re not alone. But even in times of change, there are tools, communities and strategies that can help you move forward with confidence. At Evenbreak, we believe in the power of disabled talent and the importance of equitable opportunities—and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Resilience is Nothing New to Us
People with lived experience of disability have long been at the forefront of innovation, advocacy and resilience. Whether pushing for civil rights, redesigning inaccessible systems or simply navigating everyday challenges in a world that often overlooks our needs, we are no strangers to adaptation.
This resilience is our strength—and it’s also a powerful tool in the job market. Your lived experience brings insight, creativity and determination that many employers truly value. While not every workplace is inclusive, more and more are starting to recognize the need for genuine disability inclusion—not just as a checkbox, but as a vital part of building better organizations.
Tips for Finding Inclusive Employers
When you’re exploring job opportunities, here are a few ways to identify employers that are serious about inclusion:
Look for inclusive language in job postings:
Are they explicitly encouraging applications from people with lived experience of disability? Do they mention offering accommodations or accessible hiring practices?
Explore their website:
Is the site accessible to navigate? Do they feature employee stories, accessibility policies or commitments to equity?
Don’t be afraid to ask about accommodations:
Inclusive employers will welcome questions about how they support access needs during the hiring process and beyond. If asking feels intimidating, you can start by requesting written interview questions in advance or asking how adjustments are typically handled.
Connect with others:
Online communities, peer networks and disability advocacy groups can be great places to share tips, experiences and leads on supportive employers. You don’t have to do this alone—community matters.
