I was involved in a program that helped disabled people find jobs when I was younger. I took several tests and that’s where they knew I had to have a job where you do the same thing repeatedly. Then they took me one place to work for a week and then a different place for a week, etc. so they tested my skills on 4 or 5 jobs. I didn’t end up with any of those jobs though.
I would check with your County Human Resouces . Find a DRS ( Dept. of Rehabilitation Service ) Councilor along with the workforce center.
Well I hope you’re coming. Human resources were the same as they do in my state..
You can also check with you local Epilepsy Foundation .
I worked with the Stamford Bureau of Rehabilitation. I do not know what it is called where you live. They sent me to Easter Seals, where people were stuffing envelopes and put them in boxes. However, they did not give me examples or good directions. I had been stuffing envelopes a certain way since childhood. It was not what they wanted, so I had to undo and redo al 500 envelopes. They wrote me up as being disagreeable. They do not help people get jobs, but are supposed to increase skills, i suppose.
That was worthless repeated information that does not help.
