This video addresses this from the perspective of Our Directions, a non-profit in Herrin, IL that runs a resale shop called "Helen Honey's," which employs people with disabilities at the minimum wage or above. This video offers testimonial from an employee of Helen Honey's, as well as testimonial to the Illinois state assembly from a self advocate.
