WHY LIFEWORKS
Partner of choice for disability inclusion
Disability Inclusion is our True North
At Lifeworks, disability inclusion is more than a goal—it’s the foundation of what we do. We believe that people with disabilities deserve more than basic services. They deserve the best opportunities to live full, self-directed lives, and that requires meaningful change at every level. Systems that have excluded people with disabilities must evolve.
That’s why we don’t stop at direct services—because they alone aren’t enough to create the inclusive future we envision. At Lifeworks, we’re reshaping what’s possible by working on multiple fronts, ensuring that disability inclusion is embedded in everything we do.
What Disability Inclusion Means at Lifeworks

Our work is comprehensive because disability inclusion touches every aspect of life—workplaces, communities, services, and systems.
