Millennials are split on whether individuals with disabilities receive equal treatment. While most feel it is difficult for those with disabilities to gain life-improving resources, over half believe they receive equal benefits, salaries, employment opportunities, and career advancement as others without disabilities. Millennials also hold companies to a high standard of inclusion for those with disabilities. Most feel technology can help individuals with disabilities lead productive lives, obtain educational opportunities, succeed in the workplace, and lead full and happy lives.
