The Westboro Public School in Massachusetts has started this new program for students with special needs who are of the ages of 18 through 22 to work at a candy shop called "Boro Sugar Shack." by earning a living like stocking shelves, tending to customers and doing cashier work so they can earn a living The Westboro Public School that started this project one year ago is a wonderful idea for students with special needs to learn work skills at a candy shop that opened their doors for business three months.
The goal of the program is to assist special needs students to gain confidence in learning work skills for the rest of their lives.

@Deepizzaguy Yes, they are, and probably better at it since they work harder to do a good job.

I like that since special needs people are good at working at their jobs as well as others.
