Invisible, Not Imaginary: Building Inclusion for Coworkers with Hidden Disabilities

What if the people you work with every day are facing challenges you can’t see?

Join ATD Chicagoland President Dr. Ana Bedard for an engaging, interactive virtual session designed to open your eyes—and your heart—to the realities of hidden disabilities in the workplace. From chronic illness and cognitive differences to mental health and sensory challenges many employees live with invisible conditions that affect how they work, connect, and thrive.

This highly interactive webinar will empower you to:

• Recognize a wide range of hidden disabilities and understand their impact.
• Replace assumptions with empathy—treating colleagues as humans, not machines.
• Identify and avoid “micro-exclusions” that can isolate team members.
• Challenge common misconceptions that fuel stigma.
• Support coworkers with compassion while still upholding performance and accountability.
