Disability & Employment FROM KARA MORROW, ASST. DIRECTOR OF DISABILITY & ACCESS SERVICES There are many factors to consider when a person with a disability is entering the workforce for the first time
or
shifting
in
their
current
employment. There are also guidelines for supervisors and employers of folx with disabilities. As we know, "disability" is a broad term, and that is on purpose. Disability Rights Laws are designed to protect both employers and employees in instances of potential discrimination related to accommodations for those with disabilities.
I'm Kara Morrow and I am the Assistant Director for Disability and Access Services (DAS) which is housed in the Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. Before joining OCU, I worked for the State of Oklahoma interpreting the application of laws and provisions around disability for over 10 years. If you have any questions, please contact me at kamorrow@okcu.edu, das@okcu.edu or call (405) 208-5895.
