We understand that navigating the world with a disability can present significant challenges, but we are committed to providing the guidance, resources, and support necessary to overcome those obstacles. Whether it’s finding meaningful employment, developing entrepreneurial skills, or accessing essential services, we are dedicated to empowering our clients to take control of their lives and pursue their dreams. 

Our Team

At Liz Resources, we take pride in our team of dedicated professionals who bring a wealth of expertise and experience to the table. Our staff boasts decades of hands-on experience in managing employment agencies and working closely with adults with disabilities. 

This extensive experience has given our team a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by individuals with disabilities in the job market. They have honed their skills in identifying and addressing these challenges, developing tailored strategies to help our clients overcome barriers and achieve their employment goals. 

Many of our staff members have spent years working directly with adults with disabilities, providing guidance, support, and advocacy every step of the way. They have a keen insight into the specific needs and aspirations of our clients, and they use this knowledge to create personalized plans that empower individuals to reach their full potential.

We continuously strive to stay up-to-date with the latest best practices, trends, and resources in the field, ensuring that our clients benefit from the most effective and innovative approaches. 

Understanding the Challenges

Individuals with disabilities often face significant barriers and challenges when it comes to finding meaningful employment. One of the biggest hurdles is the stigma and misconceptions surrounding disabilities, which can lead to discrimination and bias during the hiring process. Employers may make assumptions about a person’s abilities or productivity based on their disability, rather than evaluating their skills and qualifications objectively. 

Physical accessibility can also be a major obstacle, as many workplaces are not designed to accommodate individuals with mobility or sensory impairments. This can limit the types of jobs available and make it difficult for individuals with disabilities to perform their duties effectively. 

Additionally, individuals with disabilities may require accommodations or assistive technologies to perform their job duties, which can be costly for employers. This financial burden can deter some employers from hiring individuals with disabilities, even if they are qualified for the position. 

Furthermore, individuals with disabilities may face challenges related to transportation, as public transportation systems are not always accessible or convenient. This can make it difficult for them to commute to and from work, limiting their employment opportunities. 

Finally, some individuals with disabilities may require ongoing support or job coaching, which can be resource-intensive and may not be available in all areas. This lack of support services can make it challenging for individuals with disabilities to maintain employment over the long term.

Supporting Veterans with Disabilities

At Liz Resources, we have a deep appreciation for the sacrifices made by our nation’s veterans. Many of our staff members have served in the military themselves, giving us a unique understanding of the challenges faced by veterans with disabilities as they transition to civilian life.

We are wholeheartedly committed to supporting veterans with disabilities in their journey towards meaningful employment and independence. Our team includes individuals with firsthand military experience, allowing us to provide tailored guidance and resources that address the specific needs of veterans.

We understand that the skills and experiences gained through military service can be invaluable assets in the workplace. However, we also recognize that the process of translating those skills and securing employment can be daunting, especially for those with disabilities. That’s where our expertise comes in.

Our veteran support services are designed to bridge the gap between military and civilian life, empowering veterans with disabilities to navigate the job market and find fulfilling career opportunities. From resume building and interview preparation to job placement and ongoing support, we are here to ensure that your transition is as smooth and successful as possible.

At Liz Resources, we believe that our veterans deserve the utmost respect and support. It is our honor to serve those who have served our country, and we are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals and live the life you envision for yourself.

Success Stories

At Liz Resources, we’ve had the privilege of witnessing countless individuals with disabilities overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles and achieve remarkable success. Their stories are a testament to the power of perseverance, determination, and the right support system.

One such story is that of Sarah, a young woman with a learning disability who struggled to find employment after graduating from college. Despite her intelligence and hard work, she faced rejection after rejection, and her self-confidence began to dwindle. That’s when she discovered Liz Resources. Our team worked closely with Sarah to identify her strengths, develop her skills, and prepare her for interviews. We also connected her with employers who valued diversity and were willing to provide accommodations. Today, Sarah is thriving in a rewarding career and living independently.

Then there’s Michael, a veteran who sustained a spinal cord injury while serving our country. After his injury, he feared that his dreams of starting his own business were shattered. But with the help of our microenterprise development program, Michael received the training, resources, and funding he needed to launch his own successful online retail business. He now employs several other individuals with disabilities, providing them with the same opportunities he was given.

These are just two examples of the countless lives that have been transformed through our services. Every day, we witness the resilience and determination of our clients, and we’re honored to play a role in their journeys toward independence, fulfillment, and success.
