Sounds like the PA voc rehab program.
My disabled son got involved in that a few years back - accompanied him to an appointment, where a blind employee was attempting to use a regular computer screen. It went about as you might surmise. My son, despite assurance that he had been enrolled in a program, received a letter stating that, since he had declined participation, there was nothing they could do. He (and I) contacted the office to straighten things out and had another appointment with the blind computermeister. Same result. And this is the only office in town, the blind employee the only person in the job ...
Everyone is so afraid of the ADAAA and the EEOC that they do crazy things, like hire people who clearly cannot perform the essential functions of the job. Easier than having the EEOC all up in your books.
Oh yes, it also keeps voc rehab costs WAY down.
