The unemployment rate for adults with ID is more than twice as high as those without disabilities.

Only 34% of adults with ID aged 21-64 are employed, and an approximately equal number work in a sheltered setting as a competitive setting (where most people do not have disabilities).
Regardless of the setting in which they work, almost all adults with ID are underemployed (are not full time and earn less than the minimum wage).
Despite the fact that most adults with ID are underemployed, many experience job stability.
62% of adults with ID employed in a competitive setting have been at their current job for 3 years or more.
-81% of adults with ID employed in a sheltered setting have been at their current job for 3 years or more.

About Us
Chris and Kalli Clement
store owners
Chris has dreamed for many years of owing a coffee shop and being a speech therapist I couldn't imagine anything better than employing adults with special needs! Our goal is to help these adults be as successful as possible! Our long-term goal is that this coffee shop be a starting point and that we can train other facilities on how to incorporate these teens into their businesses.
