Finally, some real answers

Alice gives the budding entrepreneur a wealth of information and real-life examples...self-employment IS an option for people with disabilities. I recommend this book for idividuals as well as for professionals in the field of employment and rehabilitation...it's a must, and it's cutting edge. Dennis Rizzo - NJ Enterprise Support Center
