    Working with Person with Disabilities

    Working with persons with disabilities is a privilege yet challenging. People with
    disabilities most of the time get discouraged or underestimated because of their condition.
    Some disabilities can affect a person’s ability to perform effectively on their job and they are
    numerous and varied. They can be physical or mental to invisible disabilities such as chronic
    pain or fatigue. The seven most common disabilities that can affect job performance such as
    Low Vision, Blindness, Hearing Impairment, Speech Impairment, Specific Learning Disabilities,
    Mobility Impairment, and Health Impairments.

    One of the challenges that employers may encounter with working with a person
    with disabilities is meeting their needs. Employers must understand and provide support. It is
    important to be patient and take the time to learn how to support and guide them. Developing a
    relationship with each individual will create a better understanding. It is also important for them
    to provide an environment where there is no judgment by creating boundaries it will gain each
    other’s rights and privacy. Regardless of the challenges they may encounter, there are still
    advantages to working with people with disabilities. People with disabilities often have unique
    perspectives and can bring unique ideas to the workplace. They can also help develop the
    workplace to have better policies and practices.

    Some jobs still consider working with persons with disabilities, but some are not.
    Some workplaces have rules, and they provide regulations before they accept the employee. All
    of the disabilities that I have mentioned are difficult, but there are other alternatives to perform.
    In that way, they can still participate. For instance, for people with Low Vision it may be difficult
    for them to do certain tasks but providing large fonts or better lighting will help them do their
    work. Blindness, people who are blind can still participate in jobs by audio description. Specific
    Learning Disabilities, they may experience difficulties in comprehending information but
    accommodating to give them extra time will make it easier for them to do their tasks.

    Most importantly, everyone needs to acknowledge each individual’s strengths and


    weaknesses. Everyone will experience difficulties; it only depends on us on how we will
    overcome our difficult situations. Employers should be aware of everyone’s needs to ensure that
    everyone will have the opportunity to succeed in the workplace.
