What the clients may say:

  • "I'm deaf. My boss says there's no money for sign language interpretation so I can participate in meetings."
  • "I use a walker. During my job interview, I was asked a lot of questions about my disability."
  • "I was fired because I sometimes need to take my disabled child to medical appointments during work hours."
  • "My boss told me I can't take time off work to pray. I'm uncomfortable with the way my boss treats women at our office."
