@RobynMPowell this is outrageous and has to be stopped. Unfortunately it is happening in a lot of countries (it is very common in Germany as well for example). Most countries have loopholes in their minimum wage laws for people who are severely disabled.

Missouri Allows Some Disabled Workers to Earn Less Than $1 an Hour. The State Says It’s Fine If That Never Changes.

Sheltered workshops are meant to employ disabled adults as they prepare to enter the regular workforce. In Missouri, these workers rarely graduate to higher-paying jobs.

#introduction! I research and practice #accessibleDesign in virtual environments and technology as a research associate at the Royal College of Art in London. After several years working as a designer for a major sportswear company, my personal experience with disability (I'm #deaf) and inaccessible environments led me to change my focus to work on making emerging technologies deeply #inclusive and #accessible for everyone. #a11y #inclusiveDesign
