Through assistive technology, many individuals with disabilities are working in the community in roles of distinction. Many employers are customizing jobs for individuals with disabilities who are qualified and with minor modifications would work well in their businesses. Public businesses are modifying entrances, restrooms, retail space, and parking spaces to accommodate wheelchair access.
