Social Security Disability and Vocational Considerations

I just came across this blog post about an individual who is deaf, is receiving disability benefits, is working, and is using his trial work months.

The simple fact of the matter is: there's no way to know whether or not an employer will be accomodating to the needs of an individual with a disability.
