A Winning Opportunity for Consumer and Employer The consumer wins because they are given a choice as to where they might want to seek out employment based on their skills and abilities.

Employers win because they will be tapping into another potential resource for good, dependable workers and employees. The workplace wins by the experience of having co-workers with a rich diversity of skills, experience and interest. Taxpayers win because the individual entering the job market becomes a wage earner who will contribute to Social Security and income taxes, reducing taxpayer support. The community benefits by gaining a better understanding and appreciation of persons with disabilities and a better awareness of disability issues.
