I'm frustrated. This company helps disabled workers get work-at-home jobs. After I applied, I found out that they only work with call center jobs. Their website says "mostly" call center jobs, so I figured there were at least a few other kinds of jobs available.

So if you have problems talking and/or listening over the phone, don't waste your time with NTI. They do have a separate job board, but I found it useless.

You may be encountering a perennial problem with so-called "Disabilities Jobs" - they are shockingly one-size-fits-all, or in reality, one-size-fits-most, one-size-fits-everybody-but-you, or one size-fits-the-stereotype-imposed-on-us-by-our-funding-source.

Sure, those jobs may be great for some people, but where are the IT support jobs that service equipment at the call center? Where are the call center accounting jobs? The HR jobs supporting call center personnel management? The jobs auditing call center procedures against standard call center best practices and policies? If I already have a college degree, can i start as a call center supervisor?

Ah yes, NTI. Promise the world: deliver nothing, just like any prospective employer.

Frankly, I wish SSA would get rid of that damned Ticket to Work program. I have yet been able to get in an employment network through them in order to find, let alone, secure employment.

Then again, I live in Pennsylvania. The gummit has no idea how to deal with any one with mental disabilities, let alone developmental disabilities.
