People living with special needs, whether physical or mental, are qualified to do a great many things, despite public perception that is sometimes harshly to the contrary. PeopleWorks, a state-certified habilitation center focused on engaging in genuine relationships and training others to work through relational and social issues faced by those with special needs, recently aided CK Technologies in performing some organizational tasks. A statement from PeopleWorks read: “PeopleWorks would like to thank CK Technologies for giving us this opportunity to be part of their team and for helping introduce our availability to others. We’re excited about the possibility of finding new ways to participate in our community and are willing to perform a variety of tasks.” Pictured, kneeling, left to right: Andrew Dietz, Amanda Zettel, Kathryn Keech.
