I'd be cautious, if the programs that exist in the disabled community are the same type of programs that exist to help those without work experience or people who are having financial difficulties due to shortages of work. I most definately wouldn't recommend it. These programs are designed to force people back into the workplace working for peanuts and get them off from government assisted medical care. Once you prove you can work, you are no longer considered disabled. Proceed with caution, and ask a lot of questions. Remember if it sounds to good to be true it probably is. ;-)
