What is unique about this project is that we have recognized that having a developmental disability or a related cognitive challenge is not necessarily the biggest barrier to employment. If you do not have the self-confidence and self-reliance that comes from authentic experience, if you do not understand how to interact socially and professionally in the workplace, if you have never had a chance to develop a work ethic, and if you do not have any means to get your foot in the door of potential employers, you are not going to get a job. The actual disability or challenge is in many ways a secondary concern if all of these issues are not effectively addressed.
