Our firm recently secured disability benefits for a 22-year-old living with autism and ADHD. Despite his conditions, our client maintains part-time employment stocking shelves at a local convenience store. At first glance, this might suggest he is not disabled. However, with strong legal advocacy and supportive testimony, we demonstrated that his work is made possible only through substantial accommodations.
With help from the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) and a dedicated supervisor, our client receives daily on-the-job support. These accommodations, along with carefully presented evidence at the hearing, were key to proving that his ability to work did not disqualify him from disability benefits.
This case shows how support on the job can make a disability harder to see, even though the challenges are still very real. It is also a great example of how we fight to make sure people with less visible disabilities get the help they need.
