How will my daughter be supervised by a regular job? She’ll need one on one training. Most of all how will they provide safety for her? Who will constantly watch her? In a world that abuses those that deal with customer service, how will she be safe? She’ll have to deal with a bigger traffic of people who have no consideration for human life nevermind the special needs.

That is true of most persons with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities. My son loves his 14c work center. And, knowledgeable parents and guardians know what our sons and daughters will be left to do… watch TV or take part in “day programs” that focus on the most profoundly disabled. My so uses a large percentage of his earnings to go to summer camp… So that also will be gone. APSE and The ARC are pushing to punish these folks. Shame on them and the Federal level Senators and Congress-persons who, out of ignorance have already co-sponsored bill to eliminate Sheltered Workshops/Vocational Centers. The state of Maine eliminated the work centers and completely failed to get their folks into competitive employment.
