Upcycling Sheltered Workshops
A Revolutionary Approach to Transforming Workshops into Creative Spaces
By Susan Dlouhy and Patty Mitchell
·
Foreword by Lynn M. Harter
At a time when the traditional sheltered workshop model has fallen under rightful criticism, and a new paradigm for disability programming is not yet in place, Upcycling Sheltered Workshops offers a revolutionary alternative. As many push to dismantle sheltered workshops, Susan Dlouhy and Patty Mitchell present the Creative Abundance Model, a proven method that redirects sheltered workshops from routine to creativity, putting participants in the driver’s seat.
