Question: As a company, we’re new to the disability arena. Where do we start?

Answer: Two ODEP-funded services can greatly assist you in your efforts to create a work culture inclusive of people with disabilities, and best of all, they’re free of charge! The Employer Assistance and Resource Network (EARN) offers a variety of such materials on its website or by calling 1-855-AskEARN (1-855-275-3276) (Voice/TTY). The Job Accommodation Network (JAN) is the leading source of free, expert and confidential guidance on workplace accommodations and disability employment issues. JAN’s website is AskJAN.org. Live phone service is also available 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET by calling (toll-free) 1-800-526-7234 (Voice) or 1-877-781-9403 (TTY). Another good source is Disability.gov, which is the federal government’s central website for disability-related information.
