Q: Why should I consider candidates with disabilities?
A: Because they bring value to your business. Employers report lower turnover, stronger productivity, and a boost in workplace culture. Plus, you may qualify for financial incentives like the Work Opportunity Tax Credit.


Q: Will accommodations be too expensive?
A: Most aren’t! In fact, many cost little or nothing at all. The Job Accommodation Network (JAN) is a great resource that shows just how affordable and effective accommodations can be.


Q: Are employees with disabilities hard to supervise?
A: Not at all. Just like any employee, success comes down to good communication and clear expectations. When needed, simple accommodations, job coaching, or job shadowing can provide extra support.


Q: Will employees with disabilities be absent more often?
A:
No. Research shows employees with disabilities often have the same—or even better—attendance records than other employees.


Q: If I have a job opening, who do I notify?
A:
Reach out to Wyoming’s Vocational Rehabilitation (VR). They’ll connect you with qualified candidates and can also support you with training, ADA guidance, and staffing solutions.
