People with Usher syndrome are no different to anyone else when it comes to looking for a job.
They need to think about the skills they have, what they are interested in and what they enjoy doing and find a job to match.
However, there are a few issues that need to be taken into consideration. For example, if the job involves driving this could become a problem as vision changes and moving around in the workplace could also become difficult.
JobCentre Plus can offer support and advice when looking for a job and can then pay half of the cost of equipment and communication support. The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) may be able to help if you work in an organisation with more than 15 staff.
