LMS Tips for People with Disabilities
If you are someone with a disability looking for a job or deciding on an LMS vocational course, consider a few tips. First, don't be discouraged. Remember that especially during times like these, all job-seekers are having a tough time of it.
Assess your abilities. What activities are you good at, and what are you able to do without interference from your disability? Create a list of job possibilities based on your own unique abilities.
When seeking a job, some employers will require an interview. Take advantage of these to gain valuable interview practice--even if you're not very interested in the position.
Look for the "Positive about disabled people" icon on job ads to ensure that your work environment will be well-equipped and wheelchair accessible, and/or willing to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate disabled persons.
Contact government agencies that serve people with disabilities. There is a great deal of assistance available out there--both financial and practical. If you are in the U.S., contact a state employment office or an office of the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation to assist you with your job hunt and placement.
Unfortunately, sometimes people with disabilities do not seek employment for fear of losing their financial assistance. To overcome this trap, try volunteering or working part-time. Gaining below a certain level of income will not affect your disability benefits. When you feel confident enough to take the next step, you can increase your hours, become full-time, and let go of your financial assistance.
Lastly, you may consider furthering your education or training. Although most disabled people have many abilities, many haven't received formal training or education in a job skill. Therefore, employers are less likely to consider them as job candidates.
