Ladau, who has Larsen syndrome, began her advocacy career early when she was on several episodes of “Sesame Street” to teach fellow children about having a disability. (She even met Big Bird!) She wants people with disabilities to be able to show up as their whole selves in what they want to do, without feeling like they have to be defined by their careers. Ladau offers her advice to job seekers with disabilities on how to advocate for themselves and shares how we can all make inclusion a priority.
