What can YOU do?

Work is fundamental to our lives. It means so much more than a paycheck—it offers purpose and the opportunity to lead an independent, self-directed life for all people, including people with disabilities.

People with disabilities have the skills to pursue meaningful careers and play an important role in America’s educational and economic success. In fact, experience with disability can offer a competitive edge when it comes to work. If you are a person with a disability, only you can define your own limitations. High expectations are essential to success. Organizations exist that can help you seek employment, identify the tools you need to be productive on the job, and understand your right to be evaluated on your ability, not disability. Because after all, at work it’s what people can do that matters.

Tell us what YOU can do!

If you are a person with a disability, we’d like to hear from you.

Please take a moment to share information about your job skills and talents. Your story will increase employers’ awareness of the talents and skills that people with disabilities contribute to the workplace and help challenge misconceptions about disability and employment.

I CAN...

After surviving a car accident in 2007, I have found out what my limitations are due to a traumatic brain injury. I am creative and did work at a family owned flower shop where I mostly did design work, and I'm coming up with new idea's that I could hand make, things like jewelry, bird feeders and wall collages.

I have severe polyneuropathy which requires the use of cane. This started for me 9 years ago and they just figured out what was causing my symptons last year. I lost my job because of this, but never stopped looking or trying to return too gainful employment within manufacturing.

Julia
Key Largo, FL

After a diagnosis of clinical depression and many years of illness, during which time I was told "You'll never work again, why not just go on disability", I started working at a consumer run advocacy agency. I helped with hiring and training peers with mental illness to facilitate support groups in state hospitals.
