Trying to find a company that is willing or set-up to communicate with a deaf person is unreal. We have contacted all agencies that we know about with no luck. My nephew has graduated college with a Associates Degree in accounting/business, he does draw a ssi check but wants a job so he doesn't have to. It seems like for the ones that can work there would be more help for them so they wouldn't have to depend on the government for support and in turn save our government money. We need more agencies to step up and educate people. To him he is not handicapped, he does not understand why these companies discriminate against him. If there is anything you can do to get the word out and educate companies and people to give handicapped people a chance. Thank you.
