Getting a Job Teens & Adults E-book - Learning DisabilitiesIt's a tough job market out there, and those who have learning disabilities (LD) have a harder time getting — and keeping — a job than those who do not. According to our 2011 State of Learning Disabilities report, “adults with LD face challenges with employment, most likely due to a lack of educational attainment. The unemployment rate for those with LD was twice…that of those without LD.”

Throughout this e-book, we will show you how to leverage your strengths to find a job you enjoy. We will also prepare you for challenges that may arise in the workplace as a result of having a learning disability. To this end we have included answers to questions about disclosure as well as tips for workplace success — valuable resources whether you already have a job or are on your way toward obtaining one.
