[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 562909, member: 1233"] This is just a totally WONDERFUL thing!!! I am so glad, and so PROUD of my board-nephew!!!!!!!!!!! Life is awesome when they make such progress, isn't it??? The supported jobs are an incredible boon to a community. A friend of mine spent a year working with three different clients as a job coach. It was a phenomenal thing for her, and though the pay wasn't great it let her see the problems that kids have when they get out of school but are not yet able to handle independent life. She works hard now to make sure the students whe works with at a school end up in positive supportive jobs. A cousin of mine worked for a similar place and he often had ten or twelve employees that he helped. They both enjoyed their jobs so very much, and I wish that more of our kids had opportunities like this. One thing you might think of this time of year is doing a family craft evening or afternoon and having difficult child help easy child and the tyranotots make ornaments and/or homemade gifts for their teachers, job coaches, case workers, etc..... Both my cousin and my friend both have ornaments that they treasure that their clients/students have given them. [/QUOTE]
