We have a strong desire, drive, and believe that everyone has the right to gainful employment at or above minimum wage, if its only for twenty minutes or two hours. The idea that because you have an intellectual or developmental disability means that you cannot work or be employed is ignorant at its highest level. We are advocates for the Employment First Initiative in Oregon; we have a responsibility to create an avenue for those who want to work to have opportunity to obtain meaningful employment, Please help support this by liking and sharing our Facebook page supporting our blog and if you are a hiring manager or owner of a company, consider hiring a person with disabilities. Please view a video featuring Temple Grandin sharing her thoughts on employment.
