    Rising to Success, Despite Educational Barriers and Discrimination Against His Disability Oct 19, 2020

    Voices of the ADA Generation: Bryce Stanley Rises to Success, Despite Educational Barriers and Discrimination Against His Disability Read the transcript: https://kesslerfoundation.org/sites/default/files/2020-10/Bryce-Stanley-Rises-to-Success-Despite-Educational-Barriers-and-Discrimination-Against-His-Disability.pdf In this episode of Kessler Foundation's podcast, Nicky Miller spoke with Bryce Staley, a PhD candidate in economics at the University of New Hampshire, where he studies mental health policy and labor markets. They talked about his sleeping disorder and his experience at high school and college. Stanley, reflected on his experiences dealing with skeptical high school teachers doubting he had a disability, and moving forward in his career, earning a BSBA from Bryant University, and an MA in Economics from the University of New Hampshire, before studying for his PhD. Our survey dispelled many long held myths about people with disabilities and higher education. Young people and their families were often told that college would be a waste of time, they would be unable to perform as well as their peers, and a college education would not increase their likelihood of gainful employment. All of these beliefs were upended by the survey, which showed that college graduates with and without disabilities are employed at the same rates – 90%. The survey also looked at how key experiences during college influenced the success of recent graduates in the workplace. Taking advantage of career advising services, doing an internship, and having paid work, were all positively associated with employment after college for graduates with and without disabilities. During our podcast, I learned how Bryce Stanley’s college-to-work experience compared with the members of the ADA generation who participated in the survey. Read Bryce’s bio at https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryce-stanley-028787112/ and blog post “Voices of the ADA Generation: Bryce Stanley Rises to Success, Despite Educational Barriers and Discrimination Against His Disability ” (https://kesslerfoundation.org/info/bryce-stanley-rises-success-despite-educational-barriers-and-discrimination-against-his) Tuned in to our podcast series lately?
