aDAPT Workplace Inclusion

Disability Awareness Practical Teaching rooted in lived experience & built on IDEAL principles

Our aDAPT Workplace Inclusion Workshop

Today's workplaces are evolving. Be a part of the positive change.

Leadership teams, HR professionals, CEOs, managers and organizations are being called to create environments where employees, customers, clients and service users feel genuinely welcomed, respected and supported. While, many organizations want to be inclusive, far fewer know how to confidently put inclusion into practice.

That is where aDAPT Workplace Inclusion stands apart!

Created and led by Gina Martin, founder of Diverse Abilities Programs Inc., this dynamic workplace training program helps organizations move beyond outdated diversity conversations and surface-level accessibility efforts by providing practical, lived-experience education that transforms workplace culture from the inside out.

Rooted in IDEAL principles (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility and Language), aDAPT Workplace Inclusion creates safe, engaging and thought-provoking spaces where teams can ask questions, challenge assumptions and gain the practical tools that build true confidence amount teams.

This is not compliance training. This is real-world inclusion education that empowers teams to better serve, communicate with, hire, support and retain diverse employees and customers.
