I have worked on the field of Disabilities sine the early 1970s There have been many changes over that period of time for people with a disability One of the biggest changes was to introduce shelter workshops where People were given the opportunity to be trained in areas of the workplace suited to meet with there disability. This gives this person a sense of being Important and a feeling of self worth, a job they feel responsible for and Love doing. If these places had to be closed down to the high wage rise That could be implemented These people would find it hard to cope, with not having a job. We need these work outlets for our people, Where else and who else could teach such skills, these outlets shut down we will end up seeing a massive increase for funding for staff needed to be on hand To care for these people especially the ones who live in group homes.
