Abstract

This chapter explores the inclusion of people with invisible disabilities (IDs) (PWIDs) in the workplace, focusing on the complexities of disability disclosure. Companies face increasing pressure to meet quotas of disabled workers, raising tensions around disclosure. Disclosure ranges from surface-level to deep, with varying levels of visibility and risks, particularly for those with IDs who can conceal their impairments. The chapter discusses the benefits and challenges of disclosure, highlighting the significant emotional and physical toll of non-disclosure. It underscores the importance of accommodations, legal protections, and nuanced understanding for PWID, drawing on interviews with PWIDs and disability managers to illustrate these dynamics.
