SOCB47H3 Lecture 4: SOCB47 Tutorial 4 Notes
Document Summary
There are two sides: they"re being exploited and repressed and it"s also a great opportunity for them. The people quoted in the article are experts, parents, activists instead of the voice of the people with disability. They seem to be able to contribute to the workplace and have full lives. Another representation is parents saying it"s not about the money and at least they"re doing something. The sheltered workshops are helping them and giving them opportunity but it"s also exploitative. Example: building wooden crates for 50 cents an hour or pinning together. Remembrance day poppies for a penny per poppy. There has been debates and the decision was to close all sheltered workshops.
