A Presentation: Holistic Approach. Productive Results.


Problem Area: Working adults try to do it "all." Manage families, relationships, health, recreation/hobbies, finances and their jobs. During the 40 hour work week there are several distractions which decreases productivity in the work place. This is especially true for adults with disabilities who are apart of the workforce.
