In any job, it can be easy to grumble about the challenges of the day. From difficult bosses to mountains of work, even the cheeriest of individuals have been known to complain about their job. However, those who face disabilities experience workday challenges that many will never understand. On top of common workplace frustrations, people with one or more disabilities have to overcome their own unique difficulties on a daily basis.
While these challenges will never fully go away, many individuals have started using technology to make their work lives easier. JobKoreaUSA explores three of the most effective strategies that individuals with disabilities are using to reduce the difficulties they face on the job.
They are starting home-based businesses.
Some workplaces and/or work schedules will never be a good fit for certain kinds of disabilities. Those who experience mental health conditions (such as social anxiety or depression), physical limitations, and chronic pain may need a greater degree of flexibility in their day-to-day work environment and schedule. As a solution, individuals with disabilities are starting their own home-based businesses. When you work for yourself, you can work from any location and make your own schedule. This can be especially helpful for those who have frequent doctor’s appointments to treat their condition.
By setting up an effective website for your home-based business, you can sell almost any product or service. To achieve the greatest degree of success, the use of web analytics can quickly show you what is and isn't working. You can find professionals well-versed in web analytics through online job platforms. You can even check out reviews, service costs, and more to guarantee a good fit.
They are making technology work for them.
Gone are the days when assistive technologies only worked well some of the time. In recent years, assistive tech tools have progressed even further, making the workday much easier for certain kinds of disabilities. For instance, if you have a visual or hearing impairment, you can make technology work for you. A program called JAWS (an acronym for Job Access With Speech). It has become the most popular screen-reading technology in the world. When using any popular computer program, you can receive either a Braille or speech output.
Similar assistive technology now exists for a number of conditions and offers users a high degree of accuracy. If you work for yourself, you will need to leverage the assistive tech tools that are suited to your individual challenges. However, if you are an employee of an organization, it is best to check with human resources to see if they would be willing to purchase and install a program that will make your job easier.
They are using remote learning to advance their careers.
Over the last decade, the popularity of remote learning programs has exploded. With the COVID-19 restrictions of the last year, remote learning has become even more popular. Without ever leaving home, you can now earn a bachelor’s or master’s degree from a top university. Remote learning has become especially valuable for individuals with various disabilities. Physical and cognitive challenges can make it difficult (if not impossible) to routinely attend in-person classes. Now, individuals are utilizing remote learning opportunities to advance their careers.
Aside from these three main areas, technology is improving the workday for those with disabilities in many other ways. Over the coming years, it will be even more important for tech companies to further develop their accessibility software and programs, so that it becomes even easier for everyone with a disability to overcome their personal challenges.
