Wheeling with new wheels
I just attended a program in which churches are really good resource for employment of people with disabilities. It's not about faith but the congregants who are employers. A disability awareness program is done and then discussion focuses on jobs. Many churches have offered to work with and find employment a few people with challenges. I never considered this avenue but it seems to be a rather easy and successful resources. This is an environment in which people, who happen to be employers, are not on deadlines and are generally more receptive. Financial incentives are rarely discussed rather the concept of altruism is central. Vocational Venues, Lancaster is looking up but not quite ready to roll yet.
