Young Adult and Independence

I care for my 25 yr old daughter who had her first seizure 5 years ago. She had just begun college and was beginning to live her life. Now at 25 she cannot work, study or take care of herself. Soc Sec has not recognized her disability and she and I live off of my retirement. Aren't there employers who hire able individuals without asking them not to come back when they go a little funny? Are there agencies that could help her find a life path? We currently live in California and looking for help. Thanks
In each state employment

In each state employment office there is a person that works with handicapped people. They know companies that hire handicapped people thay also can help filling out forms and even help with job training, Call the state employment office and check with them would be my first suggestion.
