Review
”I'm glad this book was written showcasing how a person with a disability can be a mentor to others. This book definitely needs to get into the hands of young children with disabilities, it was written for them.”
I am a special education teacher, and Joe and his family have taught me a lot about how an individual with a disability can be in charge of his or her own business. It definitely changed the direction of my career, and proving that entrepreneurship can be a viable option for employment. School districts and adult service providers need to get on board with this. Thanks, Joe, for being my mentor as well.”
