What started as a sub position has lead to a permanent spot as an aide on the bus for 3-4 year-olds and special education students. She has maintained her employment since September 2020. They have also discussed with her additional training so she can drive the vans as well as work as an aid. The bus company has been very flexible and structures her routes around her physical and mental health services so she can continue to stay healthy. The odd hours (mornings and afternoons) fit well with her schedule and she soon learned she thrived working with the younger kids. One day, her son, who successfully participated in WDI’s youth programming, suggested she apply as a bus aid for the company he works for. At first it was devastating and Kelli struggled to go on day to day. Kelli thrived on routine and when COVID-19 hit, many of her regular services and appointments were disrupted. Over the years she has attempted to work several jobs, but was never able to maintain them either due to her scheduling needs or the demands they put on her physically and mentally. She has been using county benefits while working on applying for social security disability. Kelli has been a client of Workforce Development, Inc. Thank you so much Jennifer!
