Success Stories, cont’d
"typewriter or dictating my work to a reader; this was a burdensome process. With the advent of accessible computer technology, I now find that I am as efficient and productive as any employee with sight …My agency is particularly interested in hiring qualified individuals with disabilities because the programs that we administer provide training and employment for adults with disabilities … I do not believe my disability is a barrier to my success on the job."
