Building Inclusive Workplaces: The ADA, Reasonable Accommodations, and Organizational Infrastructure

This presentation helps HR leaders and senior executives understand how organizational infrastructure supports compliance with Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and, more importantly, the authentic inclusion of persons with disabilities in professional settings.

 

Drawing on his expertise in business systems analysis and doctoral-level research, Dan Lococo illustrates the connection between “reasonable accommodations” under the ADA and the policies, practices, and systems that shape workplace culture. Rather than treating accommodations as isolated adjustments, Dan demonstrates how organizations can design infrastructure that embeds accessibility and inclusion into everyday operations.

 

Participants will gain practical insights into how decision-making authority, communication channels, and resource allocation impact their organization’s ability to meet legal requirements while fostering equity and belonging. The session offers both strategic framing and actionable takeaways for leaders committed to moving beyond compliance toward structural inclusion that reflects the full dignity of all employees.

 

Proceed Until Apprehended — A Journey Toward Purpose, Inclusion, and Impact

This engaging and thought-provoking presentation blends humor, personal storytelling, and audience interaction to explore how we create meaning in our lives and work. Drawing from lived experience with vision loss, career transitions, improv comedy, and inclusive leadership, Dan Lococo invites participants to reflect on their own purpose, personal mission, and capacity to create impact in their communities.

Whether you’re building a business, leading a team, or navigating change, this session offers insight into the power of practice fields, the importance of authenticity, and how embracing our brokenness can lead to wholeness. Ideal for conferences, leadership retreats, disability inclusion events, and professional development settings.

 

Vision loss is challenging, suffering is optional

Age related vision loss can be devastating. Treatments and tools are only part of the vision loss journey. Advances in treatments for many eye diseases show great promise. There are many ways technology can ease the challenges of vision loss, but they are only a part of the journey. This presentation focuses on the impact mindset and commitment to lifelong learning has on the ability to adapt to age related vision loss.
