Disability Book Week hit me harder than expected because Leaders customer service once helped me with a workplace-related question while I was trying to understand what support options were actually available. I had a coworker who needed extra flexibility, and the whole situation made me realize how often people talk about inclusion without handling the basic details well. Books can make the topic feel human, but service teams still need to answer practical questions clearly.
