A "learning disability" doesn't get a job, a PERSON gets a job.  \n\nIf you are able to perform the job, with reasonable accomodations (per ADA 504), you can get any job for which you are otherwise qualified.\n\nhttp://www.usdoj.gov/crt/ada/

if they are disabled, then how can they work/? if you know this to be true and can prove it, you need to contact the local state agency of welfare and report them

Try one of the organizations listed on the Michigan Works! website.  Click on the county of residence and note the location closest to your friend.  Counselors should be available onsite that can help, and there might even be networking groups or other training programs that your friend may qualify for.

Try the Lions Club in your area or The Department of the Blind.  The Knight's Templar also will help sometimes.  Also, the Workforce Development Force will sometimes help so the person can become employable again.  Many of the universities will help also.  \n\nI hope this helps.

The department of human services would be a good place to start.  Good luck.

Please explain what sort of work permit it is that you are looking for.  The only "permit" for a handicapped person that I can think of offhand is a parking permit that allows them to park in special restricted parking spaces,and at parking meters without charge.

Absolutely! I am on SSDI. I live in Az. Go to (or call) your State Rehabilitation Office in your town, (listed in your phone book under State Government or call your local Soc. Sec. office). I attend college & am in second year now. You will have your own Rehab counselor all the way through your education (unless you prefer someone else). He or she is also your Advocate & will represent you in all dealings w/ school, if you want --also, go w/ you when graduated & represent you when applying for a job. State Rehab will help you arrange your transportation to get you to school & back (I myself receive a bus pass every month as I am mobile). Rehab provided the eye exam & beautiful glasses I needed to start school, a computer-- which is absolutely necessary to do your work. I take most of my classes online or by cable t.v.. Whatever your situation, they go the last mile to assure you every opportunity to pursue an education & they really make things happen! My friend (in a wheel chair) is now graduated & making over $70 grand a year-I graduate this year-Phi Theta Kappa. You will have your Pell Grants & State Grants & anything & everything else is you need is covered by State. They are the greatest people you'll ever meet & pulling for you 100%, even if you haven't any support from any one else. You CAN do this--many disabled have & it has changed their world. Go for it, get started & Good Luck in your future!!!

Start with the courts.  Go and find the Court Administrator and see if they need any help.  Or go to Human Resources at the County and ask them.  The county were I worked had job postings in a central location, if you work with the county don't they have a central location for job postings?  I bet they do, ask at Human Resources.

at the end of the day an adult with learning disabilities has freedom of choice just like you or i, you can advise if you think somthing is dangerous or you can ensure for instance obsticles which may harm or cause accidents are removed, but an adult living on their own with limited care is responsible for themslves, \nsay in day care ther are rules and regs there are adults with severe disabilities that cant be left and those that are less severe that can and should be encouraged to look after themslves
