"Given a chance, young people with disabilities
will make wonderful employees, and job-shadowing on DMD allows
them to actually see what they would have to do to perform on
a particular job.” Mary Coody, DMD Local Coordinator, Florida.
"The greatest thing about DMD is that it has
the backing of our country's leaders. This gives it a credibility
and importance from the beginning." - Lyn Lewis, Local Coordinator,
Beaufort County, NC.
