Just Differently-Able: The Value of Disability Inclusion
Like people without a disability, individuals with an intellectual or developmental disability have unique strengths, weaknesses, skills and talents. A job for a person with this disability could mean more independence, new friendships, and a sense of purpose and togetherness.
