Which statement is true regarding disabled workers?

• A. They are less reliable
• B. They require special accommodations and are rarely productive
• C. Disabled workers are often more dependable and conscientious
• D. They are not hired in most organizations

Answer: (C)

Disability in the workplace is often associated with strong dependability and conscientiousness. Many disabled workers develop resilient work habits, show persistence in overcoming barriers, and value reliability due to the effort required to manage challenges. When reasonable accommodations are available, tasks get completed efficiently and employees stay motivated to perform well, which helps explain why they can be especially dependable and thorough. The other statements rely on stereotypes or inaccurate assumptions: reliability is not determined by disability, and accommodations can support high productivity rather than hinder it; plus, discrimination against hiring disabled workers isn’t consistent with modern employment practices and laws.
