I think that there is one on Division street on the east side of Portland (Oregon that is).  Check with social services and they should be able to better assist you.

According to EOE "Equal Opportunity Employment", yes you can.  Of course I wouldn't recommend certain disabilities w/ certain jobs.  For instance (AND I'm not being mean)...I don't think if you're in a wheelchair that they'll hire you as a waiter/waitress.

Go into some of the classes with your child. You and your child can tell them what it is like to be disabled and have a disabled child. I think everyone would be more aware of disabilities. Good luck.

All you have to do is read section 504. Look for articles discussing businesses renovating their buildings when 504 enforcement came into effect (in the early 1990s). \n\nI've worked with people who only held jobs because of ADA requiring employers to modify the environment and work hours to accomodate disabilities, and these people were greatly beneficial to the workplace.
