The overlooked labor force 
Disabled workers find 'help wanted' signs aren't meant for them

Prospective bosses, David Clark says, don't know what to think of someone
with a significant disability. Clark has cerebral palsy, which makes his
voice sound, by his own description, like "a tape recorder on half speed."
Employers hear him talk, and "I never hear another word from them," he says.
One would think that in the labor-strapped high-tech world where people can
communicate by E-mail as easily as speaking face to face there would be
plenty of job offers for a man described by one ex-boss as "a cool guy,
extraordinary." Clark started job hunting this summer after he was laid off
from his job at a dot-com company. Says John Kemp, his last boss: "This is a
classic example of wasted talent."
