Services Explained
We believe in promoting our community’s realistic
understanding of individual differences. We strive
toward making organizations available to all
individuals by strategizing through their big
picture perspective.
Our mission is to help our client organizations
effectively integrate into a clear flow of work
through the three core aspects along the
disabilities continuum. This continuum begins on one
end with focus on the individual to a broader
spectrum of discourse on the other end with
organizations and systems addressing disabilities
issues. The three core disabilities areas along this
spectrum are:
- Ensuring Quantified Clinical Assessment:
It is a myth that a diagnosis by a physician or
psychologist automatically constitutes a disabling
condition. This is because many such evaluations do
not quantify the degree to which a person is
impaired or the context which that impairment is
most limiting. The ILU team’s role is to fill-in the
details that might have been missed in such
diagnosis. We frame to what degree a person may be
disabled by interview and review of medical or
psychological documentation.
- Tying Accommodations Directly to a Reported
Disability:
It is a myth that any recommendation made by a
physician or psychologist must be taken at
face-value for a legally binding accommodation. The
ILU team’s role is to line-up the results of our
clinical evaluation with the context of the
environment that the person intends to access. We
provide expertise about defining the needs of
persons with disabilities
- Writing Policy which Guides Consistent Decision
Making while Containing Liabilities:
It is a myth that legal liabilities will be
reduced if an organization honors or denies its
disabilities claims with attention given only to a
careful case-by-case review of complainants.
Liabilities are best minimized by creating
policies which guide a consistent good faith
effort to balance the needs of the individual
reporting the disability with the reasonable needs
of the organization to meet its standard of work.
The ILU Team has significant experience in writing
policies for organizations on corporate climate
changes related to disabilities. The ILU Team also
has a great deal of experience developing
disabilities program which function smoothly under
the umbrella of those policies.
The challenge when addressing the above three areas
of the disabilities continuum is that few realize it
exists. Not knowing these elements sit separately
from each other and yet demand a relationship with
one another is likely to cause public challenges. It
is for this reason that the ILU partners also offers
consult to organizations that have trouble
articulating their public message. This is
summarized in the below:
- Advise and Represent Company Media Issues Related
to Disabilities Concerns/Legal cases
Transparency is gained by broadening public
understanding of issues that have given rise to the
myriad of different disabilities related
expectations.
In these times when our public trust questions
corporate responsibility, the ILU team strives to
help organizations become more transparent via
developing a positive media relationship in terms of
their intent, policies and program management.
Transparency gained through public understanding
involves a degree of marketing that creates
disabilities programs and policies which govern
them. This is framed in knowing how to use a public
forum to secure their support.
The ILU Team has a wealth of experience in
developing public perceptions on media related
issues.
We believe that organizations should receive full
public credit for helping others. We also understand
that sometimes media attention may develop a less
than complete picture of those efforts. Accordingly,
we offer counsel toward developing a clear
communication strategy through those objectives.
The ILU is available to speak at fundraising
engagements as well as other events in which the
betterment of persons with disabilities is sought
and for which public information might be best
distributed
