Sheltered Workshops

June 28, 2005 7:47 AM

Is anyone out there familiar with "sheltered workshops"? If so I would be curious if you could point me in the direction of any research citations or PDFs you know about.

I have been searching my university's academic databases, but I am having trouble locating acute, detailed research, specifically on the economics of sheltered workshops, and their interaction and effect on the competitive labor market. I know this question is shamelessly academic, but I would really appreciate any help as I know the Metafilter crowd to be a group of extremely knowledgeable folks.

This isn't exactly what you are asking for but this is the web site for a center the company I work for supports and uses for some work we have done.

You could send them an email and ask them your question.

Again, not what you are looking for exactly...

My company employs Workabilities (Golden Valley MN) to send out promotional mailings.
