Flexible work isn't just great for working parents or people who want to enjoy their lives more. Flexible jobs are a critically important source of income for professionals who have disabilities or special needs. However, some companies are more supportive and inclusive of people with disabilities than others. Remote and flexible work can make all the difference in earning a steady income and having a stable job. Remote work, a part-time job, freelance gigs, or jobs with flexible or alternative schedules where you can choose your hours or work hours outside of the typical workday can provide career opportunities for professionals with disabilities. Job seeking is hard enough, and even more so if you happen to be disabled. This book takes you through the things you might want to think about if you are disabled and looking for work.
