Working from home would be preferable but is not imperative. She has voice activated computer capability. All answers hugely appreciated, thank you so much!!!

Actually, there are many more opportunities for jobs for people with disabilties than you might imagine. See the article below about jobs for people with disabilities.

PS: It is no longer acceptable to say "wheelchair bound", as it makes the wheelchair seem like a prison sentence. A better term is wheelchair user.

One should be seeking employment opportunities and advice while still attending University - they have resources for job placement, counsellors, and the professors to offer additional advice and recommendations. If the degree is recent, she can access these resources; call the university and find out what she needs to do.

Most companies and agencies, particularly those that receive government funding and contracts are not legally allowed to discriminate against candidates based on their disability, so she should be applying for any jobs that require a Master's in social work and receive government funding. Most agencies that offer social services do receive government funds, so that should be a pretty long list.

However, my understanding of social work is that it usually requires dealing with clients on a face-to-face basis, so I assume home-working is going to be out of the question. It all depends on the jobs available, and the agencies hiring.
