Overcoming Obstacles

Learning disabilities can cause problems at work. If you have experienced difficulties at work due to your LD, you may be worried about the possibility of losing your job. You also may be hurt or confused by comments your co-workers have made about these problems.

Overcoming obstacles on the job is an ongoing challenge. Try to anticipate problems before they interfere with your performance. Understand your strengths and weakness, and be prepared to ask for the types of assistance that will help you be successful. Whether you're working now, searching for a job, or getting ready to change careers, building self-awareness can help you succeed on the job and beyond.
