I look for remote positions only as that was how I did my last job. Should I disclose that I had a stroke and am paralyzed on one side of my body. I can only work with one hand and one leg. I’m also in a wheelchair. My brain function is there, I just have physical limitations. How much do I need to disclose during my interviews? So far my interviews have all been through zoom and not in person.

   You don't need to disclose anything. Only if you are hired and have to go into the office would you need to mention it. Small companies can usually fly under the ADA radar and don't need to make their offices handicap - accessible, so keep that in mind when you are offered a job.

   I second that (amazing work ethic)

   Have you looked into your local foundations?

   What about giving a shot at a small LLC for virtual work?

   There doesn't seem to be a need to disclose your physical requirements if you're working from home. Unless the job requires anything other than working at a computer, it's none of their business.
