About Think Beyond the LabelSM
Think Beyond the Label is committed to making the business
case for employing people with disabilities. We are a partnership
of health and human service and employment agencies with federal
grants, coming together to build a uniform national infrastructure
and approach that connects businesses to qualified candidates
with disabilities. Our goal is simple: to raise awareness
that hiring people with disabilities makes good business sense.
Employees with disabilities have unique, competitively relevant
knowledge and perspectives about work processes, bringing
different perspectives to meeting work requirements and goals
successfully. Hiring someone who “thinks outside the
box” might be thinking too small when there’s an
opportunity to hire someone who lives outside the box.
Health & Disability Advocates (HDA), is a national nonprofit
organization that promotes income security and improved health
care access for children, people with disabilities, and low-income
older adults. HDA is spearheading the Think Beyond the Label
campaign on behalf of more than 40 states and various national
and regional organizations by serving as its fiscal agent.
For more information about HDA or the collaborative, please
email us.
This Web site is Section 508-compliant, and is accessible
to people with disabilities.
