An Introduction to Self-Employment
and Entrepreneurship for People
with Disabilities

May 28, 2009
3:00 p.m. EDT; 2:00 p.m. CDT; 1:00 p.m. MDT; 12:00 p.m. PDT

Nineteen years after the passage of the ADA, a large percentage of people with disabilities remain unemployed. However, self-employment offers a viable option for those who have entrepreneurial leanings.

Join the National AgrAbility Project for this free webinar that explores such topics as:

* What are the pros and cons of self-employment for people with disabilities?
* Who is best suited for taking on the challenge of self-employment, and what types of evaluation instruments can help with that determination?
* How should self-employment be explored via the Vocational Rehabilitation system and other means?

Our Presenter: Steve Swain is the National AgrAbility Project's Assistive Technology Specialist and a RESNA-certified Assistive Technology Professional. He has guided many consumers through Indiana's Vocational Rehabilitation Small Business Enterprise Program and will share his experiences and advice. A question and answer period will follow the presentation.
