“I Am So Grateful,” Denise Boosts Her Job Search With Ergonomic Accommodations
Denise works part-time as a cashier, but is currently looking for her “ideal job” with WorkBC Employment Services in Coquitlam.
Since recovering from encephalitis, Denise’s right hand is weaker than her left hand, particularly making typing difficult. She also struggles with sitting for long periods of time.
Her WorkBC Customized Job Specialist told her about the WorkBC Assistive Technology Services program, and she decided to apply.
Through WorkBC Assistive Technology Services, Denise received an ergonomic chair that allows her to sit longer, a tablet, and a typing program.
“My life changed for the better, I can sit for longer without developing leg cramps or back pain,” she explains.
With the right ergonomic accommodations, Denise moves one step closer to finding the right job.
“I will definitely recommend ATS to anyone in need,” she shares. “[The WorkBC Assistive Technology Services] team are amazing! I am so grateful for all their help.”
WorkBC Assistive Technology Services is operated by Neil Squire. Assistive Technology Services are available to individuals who have a work-related barrier due to a disability or a functional limitation. This may include barriers related to traveling to and from the workplace.
