Basic Block Hiring™ Podcast
The Basic Block Hiring™ Podcast is the business conversation for employing individuals with developmental disabilities (IDD). We invite our listeners to join our collaborative discussions with educators, employers, legislators, self-advocates, and community members that dive into the many topics within special education, transition, and employment to acknowledge that there is an economic impact connected to employing and/or not employing Individuals with Developmental Disabilities. Special thanks to @CassellCommunication and @SammyStrent for your graphic design and music talents!
