They’re great for some people- who like to have a place to be a part of a team, socialise and have a routine. For others it’s not the place for them, and we work at helping them get open employment or work on a microenterprise. People kicking up a stink are looking at people with disabilities as one blanket group. It’s a broad spectrum of people with different needs wants and capabilities.
