Summaries

The Frances Center for Customized Employment, a unique small business in Baton Rouge, LA, provides customized self-employment training for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Employees at the Frances Center repurpose donated items, such as furniture, and sell them in booths at the 'Finds & Fixes Thrift and Gift Store.' This business model, coined the 'AbiliMall' model by founder Dr. Jo Monroe, provides a creative and humane solution to the ever-present problem of disability employment.—Nicholas Leo
