Welcome to the first issue of our newsletter. Each month we will share stories that
illustrate how we work to support people with developmental disabilities on their
jobs, at home and in their communities.
This month we were proud to be showcased in the media.
A story produced by CBS on adults with autism featured a Job Path job seeker who
is now a member of Best Buys' Geek Squad. Newsweek's Editor-in-Chief Tina Brown
had a "shout out" to Job Path in an issue which included "America's 'Special Needs'."
Lastly, The Forward, ran an interview with me about our programs.
