Employment Aspirations Become Reality

James Williams is a 62-year-old individual who is blind, with aspirations to own his own cleaning business in South Florida. James is a client of Florida’s Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) and the Division of Blind Services (DBS), both of which he sought out logistical and financial support to pursue his entrepreneur interests. Disability Rights Florida helped facilitate communication between James, DVR, and DBS in order to ensure that he had all the necessary technology, equipment, and tools to get his business up and running. We represented Mr. Williams in multiple administrative reviews and court actions, as well as mediation. We are happy to share that he is in the final steps of his business preparations and successfully secured funding needed to launch the business.
