AHEDD announces the 'Works For Me' Campaign to Promote Employment for People with Disabilities in Pennsylvania
Many people with disabilities want to work, but need training and help to find a job. In addition, many individuals are afraid of losing social security and medical benefits. The initiative will expand awareness about how people with disabilities can join the workforce.
"Works for me" is a resource for people with any kind of disability including mental health, physical, sensory or developmental. Through a Hotline number (1-866-902-4333 ext. 192), an individual can quickly and easily connect with a coordinator to determine which program is best for them and receive the guidance they need to make a decision about employment. Information is also available at www.worksforme-pa.org. See attachment for full announcement.
