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.

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.
I really can use a job but I can only work at home but only if it is legit I have chronic pain in every joint on body so please find me something to do please.
Uh this whole page covers legit jobs?
Thank you so much for the much needed help, is this still current? Have a good day
You’re welcome Jessica.
The links still work. But the best thing to do is try each resource and see for yourself.
I have PTSD/panic disorder/severe depression/anxiety attacks and borderline agoraphobia. So I do not do well with speaking with people either on the phone or in person. I have not been able to find a legit work at home job where I can just type or do data entry. I am not on disability yet but may be soon. Please let me know if you know of any sites as I have read your article and all jobs for the places listed involve speaking with people. Thank You
Hey Sue,
I’m not sure how many of my articles you’ve actually read but I cover many opportunities that don’t involve talking to anyone.
So you may want to start here and take your time reading them all. You’ll find many options.
I do not have disability yet but have health issues that cause be to be disable. Can I still use these websites to find a job or is this just for people who are under disability?
Stephanie, Most of these companies will need the official paperwork to be considered for their programs. So you need to get disability first I believe.
But you can always visit the websites and ask them directly. The worse they can say is no.
Dear Eddie , Thank You I myself can agree with Linda It is Hard to find but thanks to you I can get a chance to do the job ive always wanted What an awesome Site Thank you:)
You’re welcome Kam! Glad I can be a source of help for you!
Dear Eddy: Sounds great for the hearing impaired, but I am a quad. That means I don’t have use of my hands, and can’t type (someone is typing for me right now). Any Ideas for work for home positions for someone like me? Any additional money I could make would be wonderful. I have a bachelors degree and part of my doctorate. Thanks
A.R.
Hey A.R.,
I really wish I have an option for you my friend. But I don’t really know something perfect for your situation.
I’m sorry for not being able to help! =(
hi this is claudia i am deaf i have trouble with out of jobs they can’t hire i am deaf it hard for them and me.. i am trying to find work at home i never experience i am nervous there are some of scam and hard to understand what looklike work. can u help me?
Yes. Start with the article above and use the resources in it to find some options that may be available to you. They’re legitimate companies so you don’t have to worry about getting scammed.
Thank you, so much! I’m am disabled, NOT by choice of course. With depression, I’m better off when I’m busy. With bipolar, seizures and chronic migraines it is tough to find a job. My boyfriend, even got fired, because they weren’t family friendly about our situation. When I’m having a bad day, I cannot take care of my 2 young children. Which is alot of work, when they are both on the Autism Spectrum.
Hopefully, I can find something, my bf and I both can do, to supplement our income and make things easier.
With at home jobs, how does it work with the taxes? Of course, I can’t work but so many hours a week, legitamently, so just curious on how this works. I’m just getting started, so your help, is so very much appreciated.
Thank You!

Hi Carla,
You’re very welcome. Sounds like you and your family are dealing with a lot. So I’m happy you found this site. In terms of taxes, we have an article that explains how it works here: https://www.workathomenoscams.com/2010/04/15/weekly-work-at-home-recap-04-16-2010/
Once you’ve read that, then you can try the companies listed in the article above. I hope this is the start to a good situation for you and your family.

hi i am physically handicapped woman i am looking for work from home for livehood please help me
Hi, Eddy. Thank you for your website. I wanted to pass on some information recently learned. I went through training with NTI Central in October 2011 and recently found out that their contract has not been renewed by the Ticket to Work program for those receiving benefits from SSDI or SSI. They have posted no jobs since I successfully passed their initial training though they stated November and December were their slow months.
Also, the link above for Melwood does not work. Here’s the working link: https://www.melwood.org/jobs. Thank you again for your focus on those living with disabilities. It is appreciated.
Hi DelD,
You’re welcome. Thanks for sharing these updates with us. Let’s hope that things change with NTI Central soon. I’ve updated the Melwood link so thank you for bringing that to my attention. I appreciate it and so will others who visit this page.
Thanks for your support!
Thanks for the kind words. The fast cash stuff should have been a dead give away. Anything that is going to make you decent money requires hard work and time. It’s guys like that who misrepresent a legitimate industry like affiliate marketing which then leads folks to believe it’s a scam. At the end of the day you learned a lesson which is great. Always do your research which is a snap by following the steps in my scam video:

And if you want to learn that affiliate marketing business by folks that aren’t trying to mislead you into it, I would suggest reading my Wealthy Affiliate article:

I hope this helps. I’m glad you found our site either way.
Hello Eddy. Love your page! Ive just tried the Anthony Morrisons fast cash commision and i have to say the video is misleading. I was very dissapointed in i spent the first fee to get started then to find out after i payed it i was sent to several other video’s asking for more, also when i received a phone call back i was swiftly told goodby once i stated i did not intend to spend more than i did already and wouldnt give my huspands info which he didnt need to know.So anyone out there who has tried this program or thinking about it be aware thats its very misleading. I will get my refund and be more careful and selective.
Hi,
I can’t seem to get through the red tape for disability, even with my doctor yelling at me to not work. We are having trouble paying the bills and I can’t even find a job in retail for the holiday season. 🙁 I have RA, Fibromyalgia, and nystagmus. Not a fun combo. I have been looking for work for some time now and keep hitting dead ends. I just need to know that this is legit before I do anything. I am trying to keep a roof over my kids heads and utilities paid, but like for most of us this is a very hard task. I hate getting my hopes up just to be let down.
