The feds have got it covered, it’ll all be FINE

“People with Disabilities

Individuals with targeted or "severe" disabilities are the most under-represented segment of the Federal workforce. The People with Disabilities Program (PWD) ensures that people with disabilities have equal Federal employment opportunities. The FAA actively recruits, hires, promotes, retains, develops and advances people with disabilities.

The FAA meets the goals of the PWD Program through a variety of practices:

Targeted Disabilities
Targeted disabilities are those disabilities that the Federal government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis in recruitment and hiring. They include hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, [b]psychiatric disability[/B] and dwarfism.”[/quote]

One of those is not like the others.  This was a good important program for hiring people with serious handicaps.  Unfortunately some inartful phrasing has expanded this to include such non-serious handicaps such as anxiety and ADHD.  I am very much in favor of backdoor hiring exemptions for someone with severe intellectual or physical disabilities.  I am very much not in favor of special hiring programs for someone with mild depression.[/quote]
