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.
