Hi Sue,

I met someone who is looking for a professional position after time off to heal from a stroke. My friend still has some residual effects. Might you have any resources for her?

Harald, how nice to hear from you.  I hope you are really happy in your new role.  

I have three blog posts with ideas: I think this link will show you all three:

I also have some info from 2019:

The State of Ohio has a website that offers assistance at https://ood.ohio.gov    

Of course, we really recommend networking in recurring settings to form relationships through which leads can come. If it's difficult for your friend to physically get around to places, there are online groups she can sign up for. One we especially recommend is Cleveland Area Networking. It’s online Mondays at Noon Eastern Time for 1/2 hour. She (and you!) can sign up here to get the link: https://clevelandareanetworking.wordpress.com/mailing-list/ At the end of each meeting we share other networking events in the Cleveland area and even around the country. 

Networking to meet people in organizations addressing senior issues may be an option. Places where seniors are served may be places where pace adjustments are everyday occurrences.  

Non-profits that are set up for addressing health and limits that people experience are most easy to approach for networking and job openings. Also, many larger companies have recruiting goals for hiring people with neurodivergence and/or limitations. Calling their HR departments and asking if they have recruitment programs for persons such as herself may be an option, though time-consuming. 

If anyone reading this has ideas, please do post them in the comments.

And, Harald, please let me know how things develop. As always, your feedback is so, so welcome.
