Vocational Rehabilitation Funding for a Power Wheelchair with ilevel: The American s with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law on July 26, 1990. It is a wide-ranging law intended to make American Society more accessible to people with disabilities. As a result businesses must provide reasonable accommodations to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities in all aspects of employment. Possible changes may include restructuring jobs, altering the layout of workstations, or modifying equipment. If you are not sure whether this is the right path for you the Job Accommodation Network (JAN) provides free consulting services for individuals with disabilities that affect employment. Services include one-on-one consultation about job accommodation ideas, requesting and negotiating accommodations, and rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and related laws. Although JAN does not help individuals find employment, JAN does provide information for job seekers. You can reach JAN at http://askjan.org/ If the use of ilevel will allow the employee (or potential employee, including students) to carry out the requisite job responsibilities independently, with a greater level of safety or in a more time efficient manner it may be considered a reasonable accommodation and funded by the employer or the state s department of vocational rehabilitation services. State vocational rehabilitation agencies assist individuals with disabilities who are pursuing meaningful careers with training, education, and funding. By contacting your local vocational rehabilitation office, you will tap into a wealth of resources related to employment options for people with disabilities. The key to funding for ilevel through vocational rehab services is identifying how the technology will assist you so that it is included in your Individualized Plan for Employment. The following list of state VR programs is accurate as of August 1, 2015.
