Committee on Disability Matters

Living Independently in the Community for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion

2:00 am

Dr. Emer Begley:

There is also a need for support in education and awareness for employers. If someone wants to go into employment, having their PA may be the only way they can physically go in and out to work. Employers need to be aware of that, they need to facilitate it and it needs to be seen as a fundamental part of reasonable accommodations as well.
