Keeping my thumbs employed on my space bar, I have a few responses to this commentary. I was not in attendance at this board meeting, but I may be able to provide some valuable additional perspective.<br>> <br>> Does anyone really believe that the only other alternative to sheltered employment for the current sheltered workshop employees is sitting at home doing nothing? I had a state senator tell me that he thought getting people into a residential sheltered workshop was better than letting them waste away in an institution somewhere. I replied by pointing out the fact that this is wasting away in an institution somewhere.<br>> <br>> In the absence of contracts, the sheltered workshop clients go into the shop and hang out. They aren?t being productive. Life is comfortable and expectations are nonexistent. What?s so bad about that? Where there might have been a door to a future of
productivity exists now a wall of concrete. It is a beautiful wall with butterflies painted on it, but it is nonetheless a concrete wall.<br>> <br>> As the data and research demonstrate, supported employment is a universally better alternative to sheltered employment. It produces a higher return on investment for states and employers. It creates much more successful and productive workers. If sheltered workshop clients were to transition immediately to supported employment models, they would all benefit.<br>> <br>> If program administrators continue to allow the exploitation of our people, they have no grounds upon which to argue that they do not support it. Every second of our lives, we Americans make a decision about what we are going to do. When it comes to sheltered employment, we can choose a path toward its eradication or a path allowing its continuation. Not acting at all generally allows its
continuation.<br>> <br>> I agree with those who believe in the need for a continuum of services. What sheltered employment creates is a continuum of wages and a chasm in what should be a continuum of services.<br>> <br>> Yours,<br>> <br>> Justin<br>> <br>> From: Ct-nfb [mailto:<a href="mailto:ct-nfb-bounces@nfbnet.org" ymailto="mailto:ct-nfb-bounces@nfbnet.org">ct-nfb-bounces@nfbnet.org</a>] On Behalf Of Nathanael T.

not quite sure if saying they don't care are the correct words to?use. Yes I was and still am very angry after what I heard. However I must ask what are you doing to help yourself seek?employment. The problem as I see is these individuals?who work in these sheltered workshops aren't?doing anything to try to help their own cases. As I said it's true I have been?unemployed for 3 years now in June, and I have had 2 unsuccessful job placements one was my problem because of the fact that I couldn't memorize the screen, since it was for poling?the script was constantly changing.? the other was I would say my?ride or New?Haven's para-transits. I was taken to the wrong S&S and became so?frustrated I walked off the job.?<br>> ?<br>> I have to admit in both cases, BESB/DORS &?Marrakesh were extremely sympathetic.?I have come to the conclusion that as Blind folks we're?basically on our own for employment.?<br>> ?<br>> I do want to leave you
with one more thought, and this is. That you my friend are an extremely intelligent individual and are capable of accomplishing great things. If yu try. Don't let yourself be put in the position that so many?of have (including myself)? that is to depend on BESB/DORS or anyone other than yourself or your parents make your decisions for you. You can do anything, you want if you stand fast & Stay strong.<br>> ?<br>> Rich<br>> ?<br>> P.S. I apologize if I ramble to much, but coming from a large family there are 2 things I've learned the first is don't allow yourself to be pushed around. And the 2nd is don't be afraid of a bloody nose.??????<br>> ?<br>> ?<br>> ??<a href="mailto:vishal14@snet.net" ymailto="mailto:vishal14@snet.net">vishal14@snet.net</a>><br>> To: "<a href="mailto:ct-nfb@nfbnet.org" ymailto="mailto:ct-nfb@nfbnet.org">ct-nfb@nfbnet.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:ct-nfb@nfbnet.org"

the response to our questions yesterday, I amost feel that we've been had, by both DORS/BESB and Malloy's representative. Its there something wrong with me, or did I get the impression that it's fine that they pay the disabled less than minimum wage as long as they had a place to go to each day. Perhaps I'm wrong, but that was the impression I got. I am very disgusted, with what I heard. And I say I don't know about the rest of you but I'd rather sit home with my thumb up my Ass then get paid less than minimum wage! This crap about?having to move slowly is just that! I personally think it's wrong that anyone should have to swallow that bullshit!<br>>> ?<br>>> Okay I've vented. and I apologize for my poor language, but I'm very angry. One last thing I should say, that if I had the cance to speak my mind yesterday I may have kicked out of the NFB.<br>>> ?<br>>> Have a great day my friends. I'm off to clean my back yard.<br>>>
