Work At Home For The Disabled
Recently I received an email from one of our loyal visitors Linda which read as follows:
"Hi Eddy,
Thanks for all the information you have sent me. I would like to ask you if you have any knowledge of work at home sites for people with hearing disabilities.
I am hearing disabled, and a lot of the legit work at home sites have jobs for call centers or involving extensive phone work. I am looking for administrative work. I know work at home jobs are hard to come by and when your are disabled it is even harder.
Thanks for any information you can provide.
- Linda"
I’m always happy to hear from you, the users of our site. It brings me tremendous joy, every time I read an email about how someone has learned a great deal about work at home or avoiding a scam, because of what they’ve read here. And although Linda’s email expressed these sentiments, it was a bit different.

I was very embarrassed that we failed to include resources for our disabled users. At the very least we should have written an article. After all, I have had enough insight to write content for our international work at home seekers. But I really dropped the ball when it came to work at home seekers with disabilities. So we would like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize to our disabled users.
Too often we’re all guilty of just living in our own little worlds. I take it for granted that I can see, write, walk and talk with little effort. But that’s not the case for everyone. We already know how difficult it is to find a legitimate work at home job when you have no disabilities. But imagine the uphill battle that your disabled counter parts have to fight everyday!
So with that said we have compiled a list of disabled friendly work at home job related resources below. I hope it does help this portion of the population that we have unintentionally ignored.
NTI Central
Lift-INC.org
Office of Disability Employment Policy
Job Accommodation Network
Melwood.com
Final Thoughts
Although this article was really aimed at our disabled work at home seekers. I would like the job seekers that suffer no disabilities to have a better appreciation for their situations. Too often as work at home seekers we do a lot of complaining about how we can’t find that perfect work at home job. Hopefully you can take away from this article that you’re very are a lot more fortunate in other ways than you’ve realized.

Thanks for your comments and being a source of inspiration.
It’s amazing what doctor’s think and say and then people go and prove just the opposite.
In any event, in terms of finding free legit work at home, use the resources we listed in the article above.
Thanks

I also am disabled and a lot of the work companies will try to work with people. God knows that offline companies will not even help.

I have a hearing impairment, which means I am rubbish on phones and I now also have Fibromyalgia, which means I spend all day every day at home as I am not well enough to go out. I have a degree but no money…incapacity benefit doesn’t pay enough and I’m getting married in May!!!
I have been searching for “work at home” jobs and have come across loads of scams but no ‘real’ sites. I am glad that you have found helpful sites for us.
However, I am from the UK and all your sites are American. can you point me in the direction of some legit “work at home” UK sites for disabled people??
I really hope you can help, I am desperate and at my last tether, money worries are tearing me apart
Sorry to offload on you

Thanks for your kind words.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
No worries about offloading on me. That’s what this site is about.
Ok, first and foremost we have some international work at home job information you should check out at:
www.WorkAtHomeNoScams.com/international
We haven’t forgotten about the folks outside the U.S.
So make use of that resource. I think the techniques listed there will still apply to you regardless of your disabilities.
Next I would still encourage you to visit those US sites listed above. But just email them and ask them for international resources. I’m pretty certain they are abreast of other resources. Hopefully that will help.
If I run into international resources, I’ll be sure to update this article or post a new one.

I am disabled, with lumbar spinal stenosis, and cannot sit or stand for long periods of time. Working at home would be perfect for me as I could get up and “stretch” every so often.
I will surely let you know if I get employment from one of these companies. Keep up the good work. Legit work at home jobs are few and far between.

I’m Lisa and I’m 30 yrs old. Ive been disabled since I was 18 yrs old and I too am on social security here in Florida. I have a walking leg disability. I am sooo frustrated trying to find a work from home job. It’s led to (very bad) crying & depression. I’ve been trying for 5 yrs now to find something real to do from home. My other situation is I couldn’t finish high school so I don’t have a diploma. I also have bad ADHD, OCD and public anxiety which I take xanax for. Anyway that’s the low down on me. I just want a job to work from home. Im not stupid I can read write type and so much more. Im not good at math science nor history. What cause of my disabilities. Besides the ADHD, OCD and anxiety was a car wreck(drunk driver) that put me in a coma and pins in my hips and messed up lower legs.
Anyways I hope I can get some ideas from this site and some TRUE job help.
I do understand fully that is takes time and dedication for anything a person does in life. I’m just tired of struggling and having NO money by the end of the 1st week of the month..Only making $570 a month SUCKS !
Thanx 4 listening

Thanks for sharing with us. You’ve definitely been through a lot in your life. I wish I could tell you there is a magic cure for working at home but I would be lying to you. Anything I would suggest takes time, effort and some of the best ways I make money requires a little investment.
But I would suggest that you try many of the online programs like taking surveys, trying products, or affiliate marketing.
You can find some recommendations for these things on the following page:
www.workathomenoscams.com/category/legitimate-work-at-home/
These things won’t make you a lot of money but some money coming in is better no money coming in.
With that said, I have to be real with you education is very important. I would strongly encourage you to get your GED. I know there are classes you can take at home. It’s going to be hard to compete with other employees if you lack some of the basic education requirements they have. And I think this would hold true even in the disability websites we provided you above.
So I would encourage you to look into taking that first step.
Next I think it’s important for everyone to keep in mind how blessed they are to wake up everyday even if we have all these things against us. I know it sounds corny but when faced with huge obstacles against us, it’s important not to focus on them. It’s better to focus on what you have been able to achieve and the little victories we have everyday. From there it snowballs into bigger and more positive things that happen in your life.
When we focus on the negatives we often miss the little opportunities that arise.
I know I was very guilty of that for years. When I started changing my perception about my situations, things started to change for me. And it may be that the opportunities I started seeing were always there. But before because I was so focused on magnifying the negative things in my life it was impossible for me to see these gifts.
So I would encourage you to do the same. Success in anything starts with our attitude then from there its about taking action. It doesn’t matter what has happened in our past, we all have to focus on what we want now and take action to get it even if it’s baby steps.
So that’s my advice to you. It’s what I tell my family, friends and loved ones. As a visitor to my website you’re part of the WorkAtHomeNoScams.com family so I have to give you the same type of love. =)
I hope some of this helped. I know it’s not necessarily the answer to making you money any faster but this advice is what I’ve followed and has changed my life.

Thanks for chiming in and sharing your experience with us. You’ve definitely taken the right attitude about the whole situation and I’m happy that you can share that advice with Lisa.
Everything you’ve said is spot on!
Joel Osteen had this great analogy that I love telling people. He says life is like driving a car. The windshield is larger than the rear view window because you should be focusing on what’s ahead and not what’s behind you. I thought that was such a profound statement and what I try to live by and encourage others too as well.
Again I know it all sounds really out there but it’s very true. As a native of the Bronx I’m really skeptical about these type of ideals but I have found it to be really true.

Thanks for posting. I feel your frustration.
But you don’t have to pay for work at home jobs.
Just use the websites for disabled people listed in the article above and you should be fine.
In terms of avoiding scams it’s easy to do if you follow the steps listed in this video:
www.workathomenoscams.com/scamvideo
You can also find legitimate and free work at home companies on the following page:

I hope this helps you get started and avoid scams.
