It’s wonderful to see a company that has a great environment for special needs employees. It means it is also a great place for clients, special needs or not.
Best kids ever period, they do wonders they're the smartest people in the world please if anything I just know somebody like that cuz they will change your world ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I work in a bakery and we have a man with autism who works with us! He packages product, puts together boxes, washes dishes and helps decorate cookies from time to time. Our bakery would truly struggle without him there!
Exactly, probably cheap ass $3 an hour ......already exploiting him , "this business is wonderful to be employing a special needs do clean dirty dishes all day !!! "
@@shanellrodriguez2581 Sure, but someone with special needs has more financial costs. Also, no one can survive on minimum wage in America. It's not a living wage.
I would like to add some information for the ridiculous and disappointing amount of negative people on here who claim this young man is not being treated fairly and only getting $2 per hour. I work for Community Vocational Services and had a hand in securing Nick's employment success and I also wrote the article that lead to this feature as I do this routinely for our successful clientele in our community businesses to highlight the success stories of all involved and in the hope it leads to the interest of others to get involved. Rest assured to all of you...he is NOT being exploited. He is NOT making subminimum wage. Woodloch legally cannot even do that. He is making a fair wage that any other worker in his position would make. He is treated with respect, kindness, and fairness. What most of you are speaking about in regards to subminimum wage is in regards to workshops. Which I cannot speak to because our agency does not do that so I suggest you do some educated research on that for yourselves. But what I can attest to is that many people in those type of programs start out there and work their way up to competitive employment. Some are ready for it right out of the gate of high school and others are not. Also people with disabilities who work also receive benefits such as SSI and SSDI and NO this is NOT ripping off the system. This is supplemental income so they actually can have some decent income while still be able to work part time hours. Yes part time. That does not mean they're exploited. That means that is the reality. Many people cannot hold full time jobs for many reasons...not enough endurance, etc. There are many different reasons and it is based on their disability. It is NOT because someone is looking to exploit someone for working just a few hours and pay them crap. Also there are waivers through counties (and I suggest if you're going to have an opinion to do some research on this) that allow individuals with disabilities to obtain supported employment, coaching in life skills, respite, among many other services. The Office of Vocational Rehabilitation offers short term services for employment and if the individual qualifies for waiver services through their county, they can have ongoing supported employment throughout their lives...such as what you see here as an example. This young man has taken part in many, many programs to get him to where he is. This was not just some charity case. This was a lot of training through school, job shadowing, and a wide variety of vocational training through many different programs. His parents are advocates and that is what you have to be. You have to fight for your child. Not everything is the hearsay and rumors. I hope this has cleared up the many negative misunderstandings and going forward please do not judge someone's situation until you truly know the facts and possibly even that particular individual's situation. I guarantee you everyone has a different story to tell. Please enjoy this story for what it was meant for...and without judgment.
Why should special needs feel limited in what they can do for jobs? Mostly we are only exposed to job seeking for banker, teacher, restaurant dishwasher/busser, custodian, and store greeter, bakery delivery or something else in a similar category. We should be able to make a living wage doing higher paid jobs like working as a certified nurses assistant (technical college offers an associate's degree for it) or professional hip hop, jazz, ballet, acro, arial and/or tap dancer, singer/songwriter, professional instrumentalist, commercial/tv/movie actress, reality show actress, fashion modeling, etc. For people who have gone above normal middle class jobs. I'm just trying to open some new doors for new opportunities in this generation of younger adults and for generations of younger adults to come! 👍
I dont have autism I have fasd. I work three days a week at a ski hill hotel doing dishes. I love my job and all my working friend there they are always good to me

In other developed countries it is not a big deal for special needs to get employed because companies who hire special needs get incentives from the government. U.S. is really not an ideal place for such unique people.
This shouldn't be news, this should be the norm. Also, sort of degrading calling him "special" repeatedly. It sounds patronizing and not that he is an equal peer. But.... we all love inspiration porn, don't we?
I for one did not appreciate the tone of how T.J. enunciated "special" and spaced it out from the rest of the sentence. And I HATE his cockiness and always laughing in segments where it just feels so inappropriate.
I hope he's not being paid below minimum wages. Many employers take advantage of special needs adults. Those employers need to be boycotted until they give equal pay. Here's a video of a woman with downs syndrome who is advocating for people with special needs. She talks about the wages too. ua-cam.com/video/mmtnAVr_NY0/v-deo.html
@@CaptchaNeon it’s not disgusting ..people will take advantage of employees who have disabilities ..especially ones who don’t know better so that’s why people are curious about his pay . nobody wants him to get cheated . it’s not disgusting to ask , it’s disgusting that there are people who have this behavior of taking advantage of people who have a disability
@@amirabrown2400 Except this is a nice place, friendly minimal employees and they were happy to see him again. That’s not a place that’s going to exploit him. Can’t we just be happy for people like him who get a job he’s happy doing? He has good parents watching out for him, seriously.
@@CaptchaNeon does it matter whether or not the place is nice ? we are talking about on the inside of the business ..he has loving parents & that’s great ! nobody wants him to be taken advantage of & that’s the point . this is something that’s should be normal for them to be treated fair . so please understand the point of view of the individuals who are concerned of his treatment . it’s nothing wrong with that ..you apparently think these types are comments are meant to be negative & they aren’t . people just understand how some business can be towards individuals with disabilities ..have a good day , thank you !
@@amirabrown2400 You skipped my other two points but ok we’ll pretend none of this ever happened and yes, I see it as negative. No one can just be happy for people anymore, they have to auto assume everyone is targeting the weak. You too have a good day
He has the most beautiful and sincere smile I have ever seen😁
We all could learn from this young man. Awesome heart and soul.
It’s wonderful to see a company that has a great environment for special needs employees. It means it is also a great place for clients, special needs or not.

These stories make me want to go to that resort because they care about their employees. It speaks volumes to me.
God bless his sweet soul
I hope he's getting paid well. A lot of work programs exploit people with special needs.

There such thing as minimum wage
@@shanellrodriguez2581 Sure, but someone with special needs has more financial costs. Also, no one can survive on minimum wage in America. It's not a living wage.
@@soupnfresh I also doubt he’s paying rent anywhere or living by himself,
@@shanellrodriguez2581 What if his parents die tomorrow, then what?
God bless, Jesus loves you and died for you all
Heartwarming ❤ bless his heart.
