My mom used to be an executive director that found work and provided housing for developmentally disabled adults. I remember the challenge they had finding jobs they could excel at. They got a contract with Hitachi to pack boxes, once they worked with the factory to delegate the work, which involved color coding the boxes and determine the packing order, it became one of the favorite jobs for individuals with more individuals wanting the job then there where positions. It was great for the lower functioning individuals who were not in a position to engage with others. The other jobs that got filled quickly were custodial for the higher functioning individuals.
