EP76: The Enrichment Approach with Reasonable Accommodations and The Rain Man Movie

I used a word play about autism and sticks. Then, I used a quote from actor and humanitarian, Will Rogers, about knowledge and trouble. Next, I talked about reasonable accommodations from the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

In this week's RITE OF PASSAGE EXPERIENCES or ROPE, I talked about some of the reasonable accommodations I received as a movie theater usher in 1989. Then I talked about the movie Rain Man and watching important scenes while doing my job.
