In fact not all disabilities are one size fits all they are all unique. We don’t all use the same technology, we are all similar but different at the same time. It’s better for employers to ask how they can assist us, what we can do, instead of assuming just because we have a disability we can’t do the job or other daily activities of life. I hope this information is helpful.
