Having a disability is difficult enough, there are a lot of learning and studying involved to find the best possible way to make your or your child's life comfortable. Many parents of children who have disabilities tend to research a lot and connect to the proper agencies. What if you are an adult, or a person who has lived a life with no disability and face becoming disabled? Where can you go to learn more? The internet is a wonderful research tool for that type of information, however, you may learn about these two resources: I.D.E.A. And the A.D.A. I.D.E. A. is an acronym for Individuals With Disabilities Education Act. This particular Act is pertinent to those individuals who have disabilities between the ages of birth to 21 years of age. The particulars of the Act include the right (afforded by the US Constitution) meaning it is Federal Law, to ensure States provide education services (or Early Intervention) to people who have disabilities in 13 specific disability categories. The two main goals of the Act is to ensure that children who have disabilities are taught life skills thus ensuring their ability to work, further their education, and live an independent life. And two, to make sure that a free education is available and designed to meet the needs of students who have disabilities. This law is specifically for organizations that receive federal money to support their programs. The A.D.A. Is an acronym for the American Disabilities Act. This Act disallows employers to discriminate against an employee or even a potential employee due to disability. This Act is applicable to private sector, State and Municipal jobs. Other areas of interest included in this Act are communications, public transportation, and the United States Congress. In addition to the above mentioned laws there are laws that prohibit against housing discrimination, provide the right to vote, provide the right to all other human rights. Remember these are all applicable if you live independently or within a facility. Ignorance of laws is not an excuse, and by you searching out the proper places to get help you can provide yourself and others who may have a disability with the safety they require. Gaining the knowledge is only part of the equation, seeking out others who may be able to help you is the other part and lastly making the general public aware is the last part of this equation. The United States constitution was created to remind us of the rights we have been given by God, and created laws to make sure no one infringes upon those rights. As citizens of the United States you must be vigilant in seeking out the knowledge to protect your rights so that you may live a better life, but in addition to make sure all citizens continue to be protected regardless of age, race and religion thus creating a tolerant society for all.

Well, basically it is for free.
Let me explain. By now, you may be one of the millions of people who seems to be on the internet all day. You spend time on Facebook, Twitter, My Space, you name it. The social network sites are based upon a belief system of creating relationships. Now, if you have ever paid attention to anything anyone (including me) have been saying about job searches; using soft contact s to recruit you or get you referrals for jobs. So, you may say you don't have any contacts.....but wait..are you sure? What about your contact list on Linked In, Facebook, forums you haunt? Do any of those folks know you are even looking for a job? Once you start to look outside the proverbial box, and examine your relationships there is no limit to where you may reach. Embrace technology and use it to solve your job search. Instead of only looking at only job boards, looking in the phone book, or whatever you are doing make sure you put on your to do list "ask my social network friends" or "network" on that list.

There are a few idea books floating around the internet regarding quick ways to make money. I must admit that these types of books intrigue me because it is imperative to have some type of income while you are looking for job, or if you need to make additional income. The “get paid” to fill in the blank field is vast, and although not new, you must do your due diligence in searching out the best gigs. Some of these money makers are tasks such as reading paid email, taking surveys. With due diligence you will find those legitimate gigs. With a positive outlook you will make some type of money, but fret not if it isn't instant. On a side note, I'd like to believe that many have made a decent living using these gigs . How do you set up your miscellaneous help wanted or get paid gig? Let me walk you through the steps: 1. Know that any income you make is just that income. You should keep track of the money. In my opinion, if there is a payout option to receive cash, try and use Pay Pal. Pay Pal has a recognized system for record keeping. 2. Set up a way to keep your personal information safe, you will be required to give your personal information 3. Register a new email account for this exclusive use. It has been said that you can get a lot of spam from these places but more than that I am sure the companies surveys and product test requests are the bulk of your email. 4. Register a voice mail company (free if possible) if you choose the option to allow these companies to call you. This way you can monitor the call traffic to your phone line. 5. Identify the type of miscellaneous job you would like to take on. The choices are: surveys, paid emails, and product testing. 6. Register at the various sites, start to let your points, or money collect. Aim for a cashout price. 7. Cashout or keep letting your money pile up. There you have it. The best places to start are those that others recommend. Make sure the rules are applicable to your country and try them out. If the site you register with works for you, keep using it! Good Luck! -Malka Maxwell Malka Maxwell This was written by Malka Maxwell © 2010 How To Get Ahead With Resumes. This article is for non-commercial use.

Depending on your needs telecommuting jobs can be full time, part time and seasonal Telecommuting first arose out of a need for business to cut down on costs, and allow their employees to continue working from a remote location most often their homes. The same basic professional prose was required , and employees often enjoy additional benefits. Telecommuting often may require you to go into a physical office for a few days, and then work from home the other days. In some cases you can telecommute full time, allowing to perform all of your duties from your home office and using technology that you may already have such as a compuer, high speed internet, landline, fax machine and printer.

Then, present your information from a how this benefits you 9the company) stance and make your case. If you really want to work exclusively from a home office, and your current employer feels it is not possible. You may want to review your resume and look for positions that are available. Once you have landed such a position you may choose to leave your current employer or work in both places. A few pointers for working with telecommuting companies are not to wait for a n answer back after you have applied for a position. Keep applying at various places until you land a job. The reason for that is that there is usually a lot of people applying for the same positions and most of these companies need some time to weed through all of the applicants.
