This article is written by Chuck Fieldman and is about a hotel that presents opportunities for special education students to come and work and develop business skill sets and grow confidence in their ability to work and accomplish business related tasks. The resort offers placements for these students in the following areas of their company: food service, housekeeping, lobby service, shipping and receiving, and conference/event services. This article is really awesome because it shows that students with disabilities CAN be productive members of a company and achieve success in many different areas. Unfortunately, there are still people who believe that students with special needs won't ever be able to obtain a "real" job. Programs like these show that it is not the case; students with special needs are still people that have the same capabilities as typically developed peers, and even some better than that of their peers.
