National Center on Workforce and Disability
The NCWD is an organization that improves access for all in the workforce development system by offering training, technical assistance, and policy analysis. There is information about
designing access to employment for all,
help to find jobs,
job accommodations and assistive technology,
legal requirements and guidelines for employment
There is also information for the employer about specific etiquette for specific disabilities. This will create a healthy relationship between the employer and employee. I found this site to be full of additional information relating to persons with disabilities.

Employer Assistance & Resource Network
EARN is a great website for employers that provides free consulting services and resources to support the recruitment and hiring of people with disabilities. The organization helps employers understand the practical reasons for hiring people with disabilities by providing success stories, newsletters, tools to help serve job seekers and other resources. In addition to helping an employer, there is information for the potential employee about representing yourself the best way possible. There is information about developing a resume, interview tips, choosing the right career and so much more! This is a great recourse for a person with a disability looking for employment or anyone wishing to hire a person with a disability.

Disclosing Disability in Employment
A person may not wish to indicate they have a disability when applying for a job. However, this website helps someone to do that with ease. The website has information on disclosing a disability on the application, in an interview, after job offer and once in the job. The site provides helpful and realistic tips about approaching the employer with this information and possible outcomes in each situation. Along the way in the article there are links to other great recourses to help with such topics. Also, this is just one section of this website which means there is so much more information for someone with a disability seeking employment!
