Description:

Join us for an engaging webinar that highlights powerful new resources developed by the Rehabilitation Research Training Center (RRTC) on Accommodations, Employment Supports, and Success for People with Physical Disabilities (ACCESS-PD)! We’ll introduce a brand-new online course, Navigating Employment as a Person with a Physical Disability, designed to empower individuals as they prepare to enter or reenter the workforce.

In addition to the course, we’ll explore tools that help users identify assistive technology and accommodation options tailored to their needs, along with a unique tool that tracks progress in mastering assistive technology. These resources work together to support employment success and independence. We’ll also share continuing education opportunities that are freely available and ideal for employees with physical disabilities, as well as employers and service providers. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how these tools can make a meaningful difference in the workplace and beyond.
