MALVERN, PA, August 20, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Farah Majid has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

For Ms. Majid, the recognition represents more than a career milestone. It marks a chapter in a story built across countries, disciplines and difficult seasons of life—a story about refusing to let circumstances define the limits of what is possible.

Ms. Majid came to the United States from Bangladesh carrying an education, ambition and a determination to build an independent future. She entered rehabilitation counseling because it joined two things she understood deeply: the human consequences of disruption and the power of meaningful work to restore dignity, stability and choice. Over the next decade, she developed expertise spanning vocational rehabilitation, disability management, workplace accommodation, return-to-work planning and forensic vocational analysis.

Today, she is the founder, chief executive officer and principal forensic vocational consultant of Majid Rehabilitation Consulting LLC in Malvern, Pennsylvania. Through the firm, she works at the intersection of medicine, employment and law, translating complex medical and vocational evidence into clear, defensible opinions about employability, earning capacity, disability and return-to-work potential. Her work serves attorneys, employers, government programs and individuals whose lives have been altered by injury, illness or disability.

Her growing national litigation practice is reinforced by her role as an associate and forensic vocational consultant with Anthony Bird & Associates, a practice built on more than four decades of experience. She also serves as an educator within the Litigation Lab Community, where she develops professional education in forensic vocational consulting and helps legal and rehabilitation professionals understand how vocational evidence can be investigated, tested and presented more effectively.

Ms. Majid also serves as a vocational expert for the Social Security Administration, providing impartial testimony in federal disability proceedings. In that role, her analysis can help determine whether a claimant's limitations permit a return to past work or adjustment to other employment in the national economy. She approaches that responsibility with unusual care, recognizing that behind every record is a person whose livelihood, independence and future may depend on the quality of the evidence presented.

Before launching her firm, Ms. Majid built a broad foundation inside major disability and insurance organizations. She served in workplace accommodation and return-to-work roles with Aflac, Sun Life, The Hartford and Sedgwick, helping employees and employers navigate disability claims, functional limitations and obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Those experiences gave her a rare view of the entire employment-disability system—from the individual trying to remain at work to the institutions responsible for making fair, sustainable decisions.

Her path to entrepreneurship was not linear. While navigating significant personal change and taking responsibility of her family, Ms. Majid made the decision to build something of her own. What emerged was not simply a consulting business, but a statement of professional independence. She turned years of clinical, corporate and forensic experience into a minority- and woman-owned practice grounded in evidence, precision and access.

She credits her progress to perseverance, education and an unwillingness to wait for permission to occupy professional spaces where women who look and sound like her have often been underrepresented. Her guiding belief is simple: diligent work, performed with integrity, can secure one's place at any table—and can create space for others to follow.

Ms. Majid holds a Master of Science in rehabilitation counseling and a Master of Business Administration in health care management and information technology. She earned her bachelor's degree in psychology and also completed undergraduate business studies in marketing and finance in Bangladesh. She is a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and a trained work-incentives practitioner, and she is pursuing advanced certification in life care planning to expand the scope of her litigation and rehabilitation practice.

Her current work also includes developing the Majid Defensibility Framework, an evidence-to-opinion methodology designed to strengthen the transparency, reliability and defensibility of forensic vocational reports. The framework reflects her larger professional goal: to help move vocational opinions beyond conclusory statements and toward analysis that can be traced, tested and explained.

Service remains central to her mission. Ms. Majid supports refugees, immigrants, veterans and people with disabilities, at times providing reduced-cost or pro bono guidance, connecting individuals with resources and helping them understand workplace accommodations, disability benefits and pathways back to employment. Fluent in English, Bengali, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi and Gujarati, she is able to reach communities that are often excluded not by a lack of potential, but by a lack of accessible information.

Through the Social Security Administration's Ticket to Work program, she is also building services intended to help beneficiaries pursue employment without losing the supports they need during the transition. Her outreach is especially focused on immigrant communities, where language, cultural barriers and unfamiliarity with public systems can prevent people from recognizing the options available to them.

Beyond her casework, Ms. Majid mentors emerging rehabilitation professionals, assists students with research and professional writing, and uses social media and educational content to make complex vocational and disability issues understandable to a broader audience. Her message is consistent across every platform: disability does not erase ability, and opportunity should not depend on whether a person knows how to navigate an intimidating system alone.

Looking ahead, Ms. Majid plans to expand her forensic and life care planning practice, deepen her collaboration with attorneys in plaintiff and defense matters, advance research on defensible vocational methodology and build employment services with measurable community impact. Her litigation work spans personal injury, medical malpractice, workers' compensation, employment litigation, estate and family law, civil litigation, veterans' disability and other matters in which work capacity and economic opportunity are disputed.

As an immigrant and South Asian woman entrepreneur, she hopes her career will stand for more than personal achievement. She wants it to show her family —and other women rebuilding their lives—that independence can be created, expertise can be earned and adversity can become the foundation of work that matters.

Her story is ultimately the same promise at the heart of rehabilitation: a life interrupted is not a life finished. With the right evidence, opportunity and determination, people can rebuild—and rise with greater purpose than before.
