Hi there,

I am not sure what skills you have. Many production and assembly places hire disabled workers. You may wish to call your local United Way and see if they can refer you to possible social service organizations which service the disabled. These organizations may have some referrals as well.

Here are some online jobs that you may want to look at:

1. Virtual Assistant

Provide general assistance-administrative, scheduling, bookkeeping, even event planning-from your home office.
You will need a phone and computer
Expect to earn: About $10 per hour at a staffing agency; up to $30 per hour if you work directly with clients
Places to find this kind of work check out homewiththekids.com, which lists companies that hire assistants, or sign on with an online staffing agency, like Team Double-Click or VIPdesk, to get contract jobs.



2. Online Reseller

Earn large amounts of money by reaching out to people that want to get rid of stuff:

Sellers determine the price by the market and the value of items they sell. Some charge a flat per-item fee (often $5 to $25), or take a percentage (20 percent to 40 percent) of total sales. Depending on the volume of your business, reselling on eBay and other sites could become a lucrative full-time job.

Possible locations to do this is Ebay or Craigslist

3. Call-Center Employee



Customers used to call a company to complain or order a product, and they'd reach the main office. Now virtual call centers route incoming calls to a home agent's phone; agents receive a script on how to answer possible questions so they can respond to routine customer-service inquries or sell products.
Will need a phone and possibly a computer
Typically pays $7 to $15 per hour, with some jobs offering incentives for high sales
You can apply at company website-such as workingsolutions.com, liveops.com or alpineaccess.com-that offers extensive training.



4. Document Translator

Can earn$10 to $50 per hour
Visit this website to apply: translatorsbase.com for a wide offering of gigs and an idea of what each job entails. A more direct route for go-getters: Contact the human resources department of a foreign company's U.S. office to ask about opportunities.



Data-Entry Worker



Must have phone and good typing skills
Typically pays: $6 to $20 per hour
You can check out this website which often posts data entry jobs. Work at Home Jobs page at homewiththekids.com. Also search Craigslist and Google (type in "online data input jobs"), and cold-call companies



5. Answering-Service Employee

6. Interview Transcriber



Journalists and nonfiction writers conduct thousands of hours of interviews, and some have no time to transcribe them. But thanks to the Internet, it's simple to e-mail a digital file of an audio interview. You just need to listen well, type it up and send it back.
Need to be a good typer
Can earn: From $5 to $40 per hour
Check out these websites to look for openings. Look for regular work with a transcription service such as the ones at verbalink.com and scribie.com, or branch out on your own by contacting local newspapers, magazines and TV news stations. One enterprising way to find nonfiction writers is to check book publishers' author websites (there are hundreds at harpercollins.com/author/websites.aspx). On the author's site, look for an e-mail link or mailing address.



7. Content Writer

Helps If you have good writing skills and a particular area of expertise.

Could you please tell me in what areas you are looking to work? I may be able to give ideas as to grants that may be applicable in this situation. Also is there more than one person involved at this point or are you looking into this for the future?
