The Details
Community-based employment is a goal for many people with disabilities. For many years it was acceptable for an individual with disabilities to leave the public school system, move to a sheltered-work environment, and remain there until the age of retirement. Now, employers recognize individuals with disabilities for their ability, desire, and willingness to work. With this recognition, sheltered-work no longer exists.
