Ian Munro is a business reporter for the Daily News Record in Harrisonburg. When he discovered that the umemployment rate for workers with physical, mental or emotional disabilities is now at a historically low level, he knew there was a story to tell.
That turned into a series of reports, including profiles of workers with various challenges, from intellectual disabilities, to Down Syndrome, to dissociative disorders or PTSD. Ian recently spoke with WMRA's Bob Leweke about the series. Bob began by asking Ian what kind of resources are available for workers with disabilities to get training, and support on the job.
