(new topic: employment of people with disabilities)
My first attempt at introducing this topic didn't provoke any response, so
I'm going to try again. Maybe I jumped in with too much detail. Let me
simply ask a few questions and not offer any of my opinions.
1) Do community employers have any responsibility to try to find ways to
hire people with disabilities? What about if we only consider young adults,
just getting started in the workforce? What responsibilities does the
business community have for their employment?
2) What are the predominant attitudes in the community about people with
disabilities working in integrated work settings, possibly in the public
eye, versus employing them in sheltered settings where they don't interact
much with non-handicapped co-workers or with the general public?
I've already written too much about what I think in my previous posting.
I'm interested in knowing what people think about these questions.
