Please see the following and respond if you have information.  Unfortunately, I don't think we will know too many who do get hired as a result.  Getting hired at all is the primary issue for blind/vi people.

Dear Joshua, Jim and Joyce - Could you disseminate the request below to your respective Deaf and Blind networks? Thanks. 

 

Kareem Dale - Special Assistant for Disability Policy to President Obama is looking for any person with a disability who has gone back to work or been rehired as a result of the economic recovery plan. For example, some company starts hiring again as a result of money they are going to receive. He has asked that we disseminate his request to our various communities. He said this is important and time sensitive and will assist him in facilitating full inclusion of disability. 

 

Please forward and respond to Kareem Dale directly.
