I would also check with your local Vocational Rehabilitation Services office. They may be able to provide guidance, resources and even funding for college and/or training, online or otherwise.

I cannot write so everything(school work) must be done on a computer. SSDI is not covering the bills. All my bills are going higher. My employer cut back my hours.(i work from home) It would be great if there was more discussion on this list about disabled people getting schooling and jobs. The highest unemployment rate is among people with disabilities though a recent report shows they are some of the greatest workers. If there is any websites that help people with disabilities, please let me know. We can make a difference. Just need the right attitude to take advantage when the oppurtunity comes-which is not often. Thanks, Derrick C/5 in PA (nice weather today 49 degrees) _____ A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
