Resources exist to assist in modifying, adapting, and providing accessibility to your office or plant for both the newly hired or newly disabled employee. Some of these are provided at no cost.
Additional resources are available at the state and local level.
State Vocational Rehabilitation agencies are often a good source. Also, check with your State Governor's Committee or Local Mayor's Committee on employment of people with disabilities for local resources. Guiding Principles for Providing Reasonable Accommodations Reasonable accommodations should be provided in a manner that does not stigmatize or disempower the individual. The employer should start with a mind set that recognizes the individual's strengths and potential contributions to the organization, respects the person as an individual, and exhibits a willingness to engage in joint problem solving. The individual should be involved in all decision making about his or her position, including developing the job description and identifying reasonable accommodations, which should be updated periodically to meet the individual s changing needs.
