Someone on my team members has a disability - what do I do? This is a question that crosses the path of many in tech, specifically engineering managers. And even if it doesn’t there is a high chance that there is someone on the team who is not “out”. Chronic illnesses, disabilities and neurodiversity are very common among tech employees.
