Some employers have misconception that people who have disabilities are difficult to accommodate.
However, this is not necessarily true. Accommodations are typically low cost and easy to implement. Data collected by JAN, provides evidence that employers who have instituted accommodations for people with disabilities have benefited financially. Limitations and accommodations will vary from person to person and from job to job. Variations may occur even if employees have the same disability.
