Carmen is currently receiving training for employment through WorkBC. She faces barriers in her search for employment.

“I have a series of medical issues that impact my ability to work: Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, POTS, Major Depressive Disorder, Anxiety, PTSD, and Long COVID. I have a very low window of tolerance for physical tasks and find increased pain,” she shares, noting that she can only work a limited amount of hours and days during the week.

Her WorkBC Case Manager referred her to WorkBC Assistive Technology Services for accommodations to help her on the path to employment. “I received a computer chair, desk, mouse, keyboard, and monitor mounts,” she explains.

She says that the accommodations have allowed her to take a “big step” in her employment journey by helping her to undergo training.

“I have found much less pain and increased stamina from having my new equipment. This has helped immensely with my training,” she shares. “I would definitely recommend Assistive Technology Services. They have been a game changer for me.”
