Text version of Randy Lewis' speech, Video 2
...and I've watched these kids grow up from the school system. Children with cerebral palsy, mental retardation, autism all kinds of different disabilities.
And I've watched them move through the school system and what happens for most of these kids, they hit twenty-one and they're booted out of the school system and have to fend for themselves against those who are much better prepared.
The disabled die a death of a thousand cuts.
As a parent and as an employer, I know this to be true.
- They're unlikely able to drive or may have limited access to transportation.
- They may not be as adaptable as we'd like them to be or as flexible.
- They may have limits on hours. They may not learn the way we're used to teaching.
- They unlikely interview well. And they may even look different.
So what are we to do?
