在立法和实践的双重影响下，为残疾人士提供的机会不断增加。法律禁止工作场所歧视，从事各类工作的残疾人士业已树立良好榜样，证明他们的能力不受残疾的限制。
美国的残疾人从事着各种各样的工作。
妮基·斯旺（Niki Swan）是一名英语老师、文学爱好者和选美皇后。身为2010年弗吉尼亚州轮椅小姐（Ms. Wheelchair Virginia），她积极传播有关残疾人能力和需求的信息，呼吁提供更多便利措施以满足残疾人的需求，同时提高对残疾人才能和能力的认识。

As the law brings more persons with disabilities into workplaces, awareness grows that possibility and capability are not overtaken by disability.
Employers are equally satisfied with the job performance of workers with disabilities and those without, according to one survey.
Swann completed her year as a beauty queen and now teaches English at a community college as she pursues higher degrees in literature. Her advice: “Accept no boundaries.”
