But, who will be that “means of information”?
![Page 5: Presentation2011](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060202/559b61e61a28ab175f8b4800/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
…unemployment
among the visually
impaired and severely
disabled is at 70%?
Are You Aware that…
These individuals deserve
the opportunity to work!

JOB AVAILABILITY
One of the largest barriers facing disabled individuals
is the lack of appropriate jobs. The absence of
adequate information about available jobs is another
major barrier.
![Page 8: Presentation2011](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060202/559b61e61a28ab175f8b4800/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Due to inadequate
public transportation
in some locations,
many visually
impaired and
severally disabled
are not able to reach
the opportunities
which are available.

EMPLOYER NEGATIVITY
An unawareness of adaptive aids and accommodations, makes hiring
visually impaired and severely disabled a tough hiring decision for many
employers. The cost of equipping work areas is also sometimes a factor in
an employer’s decision. AWARENESS IS THE KEY!
![Page 10: Presentation2011](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060202/559b61e61a28ab175f8b4800/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
EMPLOYEE NEGATIVITYThe fear of being denied employment, proper training, promotions etc. are often
major barriers for a visually impaired or severely disabled individual seeking
employment. Many individuals also fear the loss of benefits.
![Page 11: Presentation2011](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060202/559b61e61a28ab175f8b4800/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
But for those who are fortunate enough to
overcome all the barriers of finding an
appropriate job….
![Page 12: Presentation2011](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060202/559b61e61a28ab175f8b4800/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
…and even more fortunate to bechosen for that job…
![Page 13: Presentation2011](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060202/559b61e61a28ab175f8b4800/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
…they very often achieve more than
their employers ever expected.
