I found it very interesting. The other day I was talking to somebody who was working in a field called horticulture therapy. What we have often done in an attempt to try to help our brothers and sisters with disabilities is to make them into a professional problem that needs to be solved by someone who has very special training in a very special field. Now this professionalization is something that our independent living movement has tried to overcome. But I note this as a lesson that we learned.
Most people get jobs by knowing people who have jobs.
Talk to anybody. Think of this for a moment. Why then, would you take whole bunches of people who don't have jobs and put them all together in a sheltered workshop. The lesson we learn here is that the ordinary way to find a job or learn one is just fine. The ordinary way to have recreation and make friends is just fine.
