New Technology Can Help More Disabled Individuals Join the Work Force

By Ryan Morden

Oswego, NY – Syracuse University is looking at new ways technology can help people with disabilities become productive members of the workforce. Decades ago, a person with a disability was shut away. Now they can be productive and essential in the evolving economy, and as WRVO's Ryan Morden reports, this means a person with a disability could be an important component of the new economy as the nation crawls out of the recession.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
