START UP | Self-Employment Technical Assistance, Resources, & Training | Business Ownership for People with Disabilities

Description: Dusty Dutton is a 30 year old Californian with Down syndrome, diabetes, and limited vision. Her parents, Donna and Dale, have been very supportive of her inclusion as she has grown up, left the education system, and moved on to supported living and employment opportunities. Dale has focused his efforts on learning about the systems that will continue to facilitate Dusty's success as an adult. Donna has focused on planning and developing the direct supports Dusty needs day-to-day as she moves toward increasing independence. Today, Dusty enjoys "having a life" and pursuing her dreams. In this online seminar, Dale talks about his daughter and her employment dreams and goals. If you have questions, please e-mail them to Dale Dutton at DaleD99@aol.com.
