People with disabilities in the arts and business

Self-Advocacy Solutions of North Dakota and Love Is Sharing The Exceptional Needs (L.I.S.T.E.N.) have put on an adaptation of the Wizard of Oz featuring the personal stories of its performers, all people with disabilities.

Meanwhile, Danish companies have begun realizing the benefits of hiring people with disabilities; an accellerator program, Sociale Kapitolfund, has invested in 22 companies, and shows no signs of slowing. Hopefully other countries will take note of the successes enjoyed by Denmark and model similar programs.
