The commercial website Freshome.com has good information about working freelance with a disability. Check it out. Here are the opening paragraphs:

Disability can happen to anyone at any time. Sometimes people have a chronic medical condition from childhood, or one that comes on in middle- or late-age. Others might have a disability due to an accident or illness.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 61 million adults in the United States live with a disability. That’s 26% of adults (1 in 4) who have some type of disability, including the following:

• 13.7% with a mobility disability (extreme difficulty walking or climbing stairs)
• 10.8% with a cognition disability (difficulty concentrating, remembering or making decisions)
• 6.8% with an independent living disability (difficulty running errands by themselves)
• 5.9% with a hearing disability (serious difficulty hearing or deafness)
• 4.6% with a vision disability (low vision or blindness)
• 3.6% with a self-care disability (dressing and/or bathing is difficult)

Of the 155 million employed workers in the U.S., the U.S. Census Bureau reports approximately 9 million have a disability, and 58% of those with a disability work full time, year-round.

For people with a disability who find full-time work for traditional employers to be challenging, however, freelancing and working from home can be a great option to consider.
