Workplace Evaluations
Our team conducts site evaluations and recommends methods your employees who are Blind, Deaf-Blind or have Low Vision can fully perform their jobs.
Our Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors, Rehabilitation Teachers, and Assistive Technology Specialists conduct job site evaluations and provide recommendations on how an employee who is blind or has low vision can fully perform the job. The evaluation:
- Looks at the essential functions of the job.
- Recommends the technology and accommodations required to perform those essential functions.
- Assesses the ability of the employee to use technology to perform the job.
DSB connects businesses to a variety of community partners—such as the Washington State Diversity Network—to support your blind and low vision inclusion plans. Additionally, we can supply references for qualified employee candidates, screened to meet your hiring needs.
