Our staff provides assistance to employers in the areas of job accommodations, disability education for supervisors and co-workers, benefits of hiring workers with disabilities and the types of instructional methods appropriate for an employee with a disability.
We help area businesses hire individuals with disabilities and/or retain valued employees who, due to a change in health status, may have become disabled. Our staff may work with the employer to restructure job tasks or arrange alternative methods of performing core job duties to facilitate the employee’s success.
