How can I start a business to help disabled workers find jobs?
FSB's recommended resources may not be complete, so speak up about people and organizations in your rolodex who may help this reader! Also, how have you given back in your business the way this reader intends to in his?
From Malka Maxwell As someone who palced individuals with disabillities for a living, I believe the information suggested is accurate. As a New York State resident I know that most of the programs are non-profits and the guidelines for those are here Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities(http://www.vesid.nysed.gov/)
Good luck with the idea…
From Marshall Lebovits Redondo Beach, CA There was a front page article in the Wall Street Journal about a similar business and its challenges within the last 45 days. Good luck!
From Dale Sturdevant (Marketing Manager, Samscreen Inc.), Conklin, NY I’d highly recommend contacting a member of the JM Murray Inc. staff located in Cortland, NY. They do a very similar type of business, to the one you are describing, and may be able to offer some invaluable guidance. The President/CEO is Dick Benchley, he may be the best person to talk to.

Here is a grassroots activist group I am attempting to form in order for Indiana workers with disabilities to find help, post information/news/stories and support one another.
Please forward to anyone you know that many be interested.
Thank you!
