Next, funding for the acquisition of special equipment needed by disabled workers, as well as things like restructuring work areas to provide access, i3 also needed. Any employee must have access to the tools needed to do the job. For disabled workers these tools may include such things as talking computers or braille printers, which must be leased or purchased. Operating budgets rarely provide for such equipment. Finally, a mechanism must be established to monitor the effective utilization of the program. Without such monitoring there is always the risk that jobs identified for inclusion in the set-aside program may be degraded through restructuring in such a way as to effectively strip them of real responsibility. Though slight, the possibility exists that some managers might be tempted to reassign the essential work of a set-aside position to other employees rather than go through the difficult task of developing and introducing new work procedures, then training staff in their use. Pennsylvania' s accommodation program has proved to be beneficial in a number of ways. First, it provides disabled candidates a voice in determining how they will be tested. As a result, they are facilitators of solutions rather than simply being "another problem". The procedure also encourages candidates to realistically think through and evaluate their capabilities relative to the jobs for which they are applying. All too often, this is the first opportunity they have taken to do so. Sometimes this self-evaluation will lead candidates to adjust their goals and expectations in such a way as to maximize their chances of achieving success. Agency managers benefit from the opportunity to evaluate the structure of jobs under their control, relative to the needs of disabled persons. The evaluative process can lead to the elimination of artificial barriers which tend to exclude disabled candidates. The Commission has benefited from a program that promotes a structured, rational approach to accommodation requests and encourages cooperative problem solving. In the process, the Commission is learning a lot about how disabling - 23 -
