For Andrew having a job, going to work and being part of the team is an important part of his life. He is valued at work for who he is and the work he does.

Some people think limited speech means limited work opportunities. But in this noisy workshop Andrew understands the universal language of gestures, nods, winks and smiles, and everyone understands Andrew.
Regular work has given pride and independence to Andrew. So how can more people with learning disabilities find employment?
