Success at work!  

  

The ‘Self-Directed Employment: Storybook of Oregonians with Developmental Disabilities’ uses the success stories of seven young people to illustrate that people with significant disabilities CAN WORK, that they each have the abilities and talents needed to work in a job in their own community, that employers WILL hire them, that they can run their own businesses and that supports can be used creatively to ensure success. The Storybook was created by Jo-Ann Sowers, Debra McLean, Janet Stevely, Cynthia Owens, Gaye Avery-Grubbs and Keri Schumaker as part of the Center on Self-Determination, the Oregon Institute on Disability and Development, the Oregon Health & Science University with funding from Oregon Office of Developmental Disabilities Services in 2001.
