  Links for employment, job accommodations, and employment rights

  I personally used a State Vocational Rehabilitation Program, while living here in North Carolina. I unfortunately did not have much success with them.  These state-operated programs are designed to assist people with disabilities in preparing for, securing and maintaining employment but they did not seem to understand that I had physical limitations and tried to put me in a job that required me to lift 50 lbs. Here are some other links to help you understand more about employment and disability. Have you used any of these services? Were you successful?

  • Disability.gov: Search for practical information about securing employment, job accommodations, employment rights of people with disabilities and much more.
  • Job Accommodation Network: A service of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy that offers comprehensive resources for workplace accommodations.
  • Office of Disability Employment Policy: An agency of the U.S. Department of Labor.
