This is a great question to ask your state VR agency.  It's been my
experience that many of the telecommuting companies that claim to
provide jobs for people with disabilities provide temporary contract
work at best.  I haven't heard of too many people having a long-term,
stable, sustainable wage job from organizations such as NTI or J
Lodge.  Not to say these sustainable wage, stable jobs don't exist
with these organizations.  I just personally haven't had any customers
where this worked out.  There are also usually pretty stringent
computer equipment and computer skills requirements which can
eliminate many candidates.  My recommendation would be to look for a
job from a company that has both a brick and morter office and some
work from home options for employees.
