  • The federal government wants more people with disabilities to join the workforce. The Department of Labor announced a new rule with a lofty goal for the federal government-contractor workforce: 7 percent of its employees should be people with disabilities. That’s higher than the 5.7 percent of people with disabilities in the workplace when measured by the latest census survey.

Information from the U.S. Government

Some helpful disability resources from the ​United States Department of Labor can be found here:

Additionally, organizations that work with Americans with Disabilities include WorkAtHomeCareers.com which provides no cost pre-screened work at home jobs. Note: This site is supported by advertisements.

According to the Work at Home Website their goal is to help you work from home. Hopefully you'll be able to achieve this with the job leads, articles, videos and information provided on their site. ​​

Information on looking for a job with a physical disability

Proactively search for jobs with the federal and state governments and government contractors and highlight on your resume that you are disabled.

In prior years this used to reduce the likelihood that you'd be hired but now it increases it as the federal government and government contractors are required by law to hire 7% of people who are disabled.

The kinds of positions most easily filled by those with physical limitations or disabilities are: customer service/help lines, (in-bound or outbound), telemarketing, debt collection, soliciting donations, confirming appointments, direct sales, medical transcription, translating, etc.      

Go to any job board 
and search customer service jobs or any of the jobs mentioned above. 
  • Visit our partner site Temp and Part Time Jobs where you can search some of the largest job boards.

Also go to job boards like http://disability.careercast.com/ that focus specifically on the disabled. 
Go to 
https://www.dol.gov/odep to learn more from the Department of Labor.

Of course any jobs you might find are very much dependent on the kind of disability or physical limitation you might have.

Many with physical limitations start their own small business.

Educational resources for people with disabilities

If you are a boomer, senior or retiree who is disabled and are interested in continuing your education there are many programs which you can take advantage of to help you pursue lifelong learning or the completion of unfinished degrees. There are an increasing number of public and private not-for-profit colleges and universities which offer online education programs.  Check out College Resources for Students with Disabilities  which includes information for the physically disabled, hearing impaired, ADHD, autism, dyslexia and provides links where additional information can be found. 

Students with disabilities make up a growing college population. If you are working to transition later in life you are entitled to the same rights and opportunities provided to traditional students. These opportunities are guaranteed by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the American’s with Disabilities Act of 1990. 

Information on eligibility for Social Security benefits 

If you suffer from a physical or mental condition that prevents you from working, you may be eligible to receive monthly Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits. However, what it takes to obtain these benefits may be a mystery to you. You are not alone. Many people find the process to be confusing. On this page you can see the basic steps of applying for SSD benefits and explanations of issues you may face while seeking approval of your claim.
