SUMMARY:Accommodating and Communicating about Episodic Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="6208" img_size="full
 " alignment="center"][vc_column_text]We are pleased to welcome Dr. Monique
  Gignac\, who’ll be speaking on Accommodating and Communicating about Ep
 isodic Disabilities (ACED): a partnership to deliver workplace tools and r
 esources to sustain the employment of people with chronic\, episodic condi
 tions.\n  \n This presentation will focus on working with an episodic dis
 ability. Episodic disabilities are long-term health conditions that are ch
 aracterized by periods of good health interrupted by periods of poor healt
 h. Many of the most common chronic conditions in Canada can be characteriz
 ed as episodic disabilities. Because they are often unpredictable and invi
 sible to others until symptoms occur\, they create unique challenges in th
 e workplace. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nThis workshop is presented
