One of the challenges in hiring a person with a disability (PWD) is the language barrier, said Harl’s founder Harley Dave B. Beltran. Despite the challenge, he noted that the willingness to make adjustments that cater to everyone’s needs and capabilities can overcome this roadblock.

“The challenges (in) hiring a person with a disability starts from you, you as a person who hired them,” Mr. Beltran said in an interview. “The willingness to accept a person or someone in your house if you’re not comfortable, that’s the challenge. How are you going to hire them?”
