- One billion people worldwide are living with a disability, and too many of them are left unemployed or feeling like they need to hide their conditions due to discriminatory hiring practices, says social innovator and TED Fellow Ryan Gersava. With a focus on healing and disclosure, he created an online school to provide people like him with the technical skills and employment aid they need to thrive. Now he's calling for every company to initiate efforts to welcome and support those with disabilities, creating a future of work that leaves no one behind.

Hundreds of thousands are unemployed. I am one of them.
Very good brain, very disabled body. I get 75% of minimum wage to life from. It's enough to pay my fixed costs. Not enough for food. I wish our government was understanding more, and would help us in a positive way.
I truly hope this goes world wide I have 4 children with disabilities and a program like this would give them a brighter future ❤ beyond cart pushers and greeter we need to find there strength and go with that.
Serious question: why didn't you stop at 1 or 2 when it's clearly genetic?
It didn't show up until they were a little older and God blessed me with them I wouldn't trade any of them just because they are not what Society thinks perfect is I think they are perfect yes they are going to have a harder time at some things in this world but the meek will inherit the earth.
@@christineharrison4659 ugh, religion. The biggest confidence trick in history.
I wish the idea of inclusion wasn’t seen as so innovative that it needed a TED talk. I applaud this man for finding a way to employ PWD in a society that still holds such huge biases, but I look forward to the day when we don’t need to be faceless to be employed.
I am a person with disability and I *do* have a part time job in a rewarding professional role. But that is in a large company with more entrenched anti-discrimination practices. The small business sector never looks at me twice unless I come with some sort of subsidy - because all they see is ‘risk’.
If the pandemic taught us anything, it’s that flexibility can be implemented at the drop of a hat if the economic benefit is significant. And how is it not significant to the economy as a whole if more people are gainfully employed?
With incredible focus and will anything is possible. I am on the tail end of healing myself from some pretty bad body issues ive dealt with since childhood im 25 now. Dont stop youll get better
ALL emotional healing is Self Healing.
Strong message, to face the disability, to start with healing. It speaks to me a great deal, thank you, Ryan and TED.
Great inspired speech
LETS GO!!!! Powerful, emotional and moving.
This Ted Talk is powerful. thank you so much Ryan for sharing your story and for all you are doing to make this world more inclusive ❤❤❤❤
Yay for you at 1:16!! Will try to follow your career now ❤️
Keep inspiring, Ryan! 💕
This is inspiring ❤❤❤
I love this!
Our local supermarket in Maine USA employs severely mentally challenged persons as baggers! They do great and are very happy working! Just sayin'
I am surprised that disability can affect in employment. I think our society should be more and more developed, and disabled people shouldn’t be discriminated. If we try to eliminate discrimination against disabled people, they will live in better society. I am very inspired by this video.
I appreciate like disability inclusion development Sense of systems
Great
Small disabilities can mean great advantages we don't live in a box

I know some disabilities are invisible but I can't understand why it was so hard for him to get a job. I've never thought of a mental illness as a disability and bi polar 2 isnt very disabling. It's like a lesser version of bi polar. I was misdiagnosed with it. Anyway I have a very physical disability so there's no way for me to hide that. I don't understand why he would have to tell a hiring manager at every interview that he has bi polar 2. It can be controlled with mood stabilizers. I appreciate his effort for the disabled community. I just can't understand how he blamed bi polar 2 for people not hiring him
