Understanding Disability and Language: Inclusive Communication Practices Workshop

Stephanie Evans

Accessibility & Inclusion Training Specialist, CCRW

Stephanie works directly with people leaders, HR teams, managers, and staff to make workplaces more inclusive, accessible, and comfortable for everyone. Stephanie's style is plain-language, practical, and real — no jargon, no overwhelm, just clear steps people can actually use.

She focuses on the everyday moments that shape workplace culture: how we communicate, how we hire, how we support employees with disabilities, and how leaders show up when someone needs accommodations. Steph's workshops are hands-on, conversational, and rooted in lived experience, so teams walk away feeling more confident, not just “compliant.”

Steph helps organizations shift from guessing to knowing what accessibility looks like in real life, creating environments where disabled employees feel respected, supported, and able to thrive.
