- This guide is for persons with disabilities
who want more
- information about telecommuting. The guide is
based mainly on a
- national mail survey of approximately 500
employers conducted in
- 1995. Additional information came from
telephone interviews,
- reviews of materials submitted by corporations
and by departments
- of federal, state, and local governments, and
analysis of prior
- telecommuting studies. Prepared in a
question-and-answer format,
- the guide was designed to present information
that employees and
- potential employees with disabilities should
consider when
- thinking about telecommuting. A companion
guide addresses related
- issues from an employer's perspective. One
appendix provides
- examples of useful materials which could serve
as resources for
- employees: guides and handbooks, agreements
and forms, reports,
- training offerings, electronic sources of
information, and
- videotapes. A second appendix contains
comments from employers
- about telecommuting by people with
disabilities.
-
- There is no cost for an e-mail version of the
guide. Contact
