The BLN's resource directory lists Pennsylvania service providers and other
state and national organizations that can assist employers in hiring,
accommodating and/or maintaining employees with a disability. It is hoped
that this resource area will make it easier for employers to determine where
they can get help for issues regarding applicants/employees with a
disability.
Select from the categories of resource information below for more
details.
The amount of information listed in this section will continue to grow.
For specific comments or questions about resources you can contact the Project Director.
