Some ideas ... - Do not put requirements into the job description if they aren't true requirements. For example, "ability to lift 25 pounds" is one that I see a lot, along with various other physical abilities that I don't think devs working from home actually need regularly. - Offer extra paid (or unpaid!) time off, a 4-day work week, or other types of schedule flexibility. - Minimize the required travel or indicate flexibility in this area for disabled applicants. (In-person meetups and adventures sound fun and totally reasonable for most able-bodied people who can travel alone, but for a wheelchair user who needs a personal care aide, your quarterly off-site to go skiing at Tahoe is, well, not a great fit.) I'm answering mainly from the perspective of a physically disabled person with mobility issues. I'm sure people with other sorts of disabilities would come up with a very different list. |

- On-call. Some people require a regular schedule with a limit of 40 hours per week.
- Allergies. Dog-friendly is not friendly to people allergic to dogs. And yes, your "hypoallergenic" dog will still give me an asthma attack.
- Dietary restrictions. Makes anything involving food the opposite of fun. (I'm allergic to milk proteins and cross-contamination can make me very sick.)
