About this Talk

Delving into the consideration of self-employment as a post-high school option for those with special needs, Cindy will discuss her own family's success in this arena as she shares how she taught her kids to be business owners who have now successfully opened and operated their own pizza and ice cream shop that also hires those with disabilities. Sharing what to consider, what to explore, and what to teach to prepare your children for entrepreneurship, you will learn how to think outside-the-box, evaluate pros and cons, and assess different possibilities. Cindy brings real world experience to this informative session, as well as a positive and unique perspective which focuses on gifts and talents, not weaknesses and deficits. Tired of feeling defeated and fearful? Let's dream of a different kind of future together!
