Rhonda has been working with disabled people for over 40 years and couldn’t think of a better field to be in. She wants to spread the word that the people she works with each and every day are just like everybody else.
She says, “Everybody is unique. Everybody learns a little differently. Everybody has different strengths and deficits. Our clients are just people and people want jobs. They want to be fulfilled and recognized. I can’t tell you how many folks that I know, who just want to work. They want to be given an opportunity and will run with it.”
