Hello All, I feel any NGO doing some work for handicap community must be appreciated. We have to learn from our experiences, please remember first time is not always last chance. The private sector is not very opened to physically challenged people, the reason can be awareness both from government and private bodies. We need to have some regulations in place, things are changing but patience is required. NGOs can avoid lot of candidates in job fair which can be done with screening of application in line to company requirement.
Once a person is placed, the actual work starts to prove his/her worth to company .I believe lot of people leave as they could not cope up with corporate environment. We have to support physically challenged community as people have lot of talent or immense potential, only if given a chance and we all strive and look forward for that single opportunity. Lets keep doing good work rest leave everything behind.

It's his choice what screen reader he would want to use as long as he has all required skills. Although, companies do not like to make more investment, if a candidate has desired skills and improves their business significantly, then no matter how expensive the additional support they will be provided. Having said that, if there is any possibility we should try and avoid additional investment to a company. But as I said, it's a choice.
