This chapter is designed for managers to help them understand the
laws, hiring authorities, and technical aspects of recruiting, hiring,
and retaining employees with disabilities. Certain hiring authorities
can be utilized to bring highly qualified people with disabilities
into Federal employment rather quickly and managers are encouraged
to become familiar with them and utilize them to the greatest extent
possible. Information about interviewing people with disabilities,
the roles of selective placement coordinators, and the certification
process are also included. The resources section includes a list
of useful websites and organizations that address disability issues.
