People with disabilities face many challenges when searching for employment. For example, some companies are reluctant to hire a person with a disability due to preconceived notions of the individual’s ability or inability to complete job duties. In addition, when hired, people with disabilities are sometimes assigned to positions for which they are overqualified. Often times, employers do not believe that a person with disabilities can manage the responsibilities of a more demanding role. These and other obstacles prevent willing and qualified candidates from contributing to the workplace, developing their professional skills, and leading fulfilling lives. Disability Employment Specialists help these individuals confront social stigmas encountered during job searches, and help to find employment suitable to their skills and professional development.<\/p>\n
