PWS Awareness Month TIP of the Day: Three Pillars of Equality

Recognizing the importance of employment in the lives of people with disabilities is a crucial step towards gaining independence and self-respect. Those who are able-bodied and of typical intellect take for granted the immense importance of being able to earn and spend our own money independently.
