Forky Asks A Question: What Makes An Effective Accommodation Policy?

Hear me out for a second. In the 5-movie series of Toy Story, Forky is one of the best characters.

If you haven’t met Forky, he is a plastic spork that Bonnie turns into a toy on her first day of kindergarten using a pipe cleaner, a popsicle stick and googly eyes. Forky is simple, but deeply inquisitive. He asks big questions about where and how he fits in, including “Why am I alive?” and “Am I trash?” Pixar even gave him his own short-film series, Forky Asks a Question, where he asks everything from “What is Cheese?” to “What is Money?” and “What is a Leader?”

With back-to-school season upon us, it feels like the right time to go back to basics and help Forky ask a practical workplace question: “What does an employer need for an effective Accommodation Policy?”
