 We are a team! Become each other's "Hero" teammates 

Going to work, going to school, going to the doctor, going out and meeting up with friends are all natural routines for you and I. But for persons with physical disabilities, taking the bus is a thrilling challenge; for persons with intellectual development disabilities, communication is misunderstood and friendship is a luxury; for people with psycho-social disabilities, even stepping out of the house is a high wall that is difficult to overcome.

Eden's "Service Programs for Persons with Disabilities" promotes the independent living and self-development of persons with disabilities. In addition to the provision of services such as life care, rehabilitation and reablement, supportive employment, visual impairment, and assistive device support, Eden also actively engage in community-based services by organizing collaborative model sites for people with psycho-social disabilities, small-scale sheltered community workshops, and day care centers, and care for their mental health, and advocates on the realization of equality rights for persons with disabilities in the hope of they are eventual integration into the community, and participation in the society, then become good partners for us!

Others considered being the problem, but you can still be very good at all!

Your support will turn a doubtful "can not" into a confident "not a problem"!

 Frustrated by job interviews, once wanted to start the own business 

In the eyes of her peers in the Eden Wonderful Master Cleaning Work Team, Pei-Yi is a great partner, a diligent and independent worker who never has to worry about anything for her, and if she needs assist, she will propose to share the burden with her colleagues, utilizing each other's strengths to get the job done together.

To her peers, Pei-Yi is a diligentand independent partner

Pei-Yi with multi-disabilities has been assisting out at her family's Cantonese barbecue restaurant since she was a child, but she still has a desire to see the outside world and have a steady income to fulfill her many wishes. However, because of her disabilities, her job seeking has not been smooth. She has interviewed for jobs at a gas station, as a hospital assistant, as an administrative assistant in the civil service, and as a clerk at a sheltered store, but none of them have been evaluated as suitable. Pei-Yi was so frustrated that she once wanted to give up, and even wondered if she could stop being rejected by starting her own business.

 Learning actively and become the right hand of the job coach 

After nearly two years of looking for a job, she joined the wonderful master cleaning work team in 2012 with the assist of the Vocational Rehabilitation Case Manager from the Taipei City Foreign and Disabled Labor Office. The job coach arranged appropriate cleaning tasks and procedures according to Pei-Yi's condition, and patiently taught her the skills she needed, while through the experience sharing of other sheltered employees, she gradually became proficient in her work.

With the experience sharing of her senior colleague, Pei-Yi has become very familiar with her job.

Her past employment failures have not discouraged Pei-Yi. Now that she is working steadily at Wonderful Master, she is more confident and cheerful, not only taking the initiative to learn, but also actively discussing with her peers how to work to improve the efficiency. With her accumulated experience, she is also able to make suggestions for better solutions to different situations, which makes her a good assistant to the job coach.

Pei-Yi can provide the best solution for different working conditions.

 As the gatekeeper of cleanliness, she is indispensable 

Additionally, Pei-Yi's eagerness to teach and care for her new colleagues, patiently explaining to them step by step if they're struggling, and discussing with the job coach what can be improved and strengthen, has led her to become a central figure in the team, and she's now in charge of cleanliness checking, the last line of defense.

Work team considers Pei-Yi to be the central figure, and she is indispensable!

From job frustration to steady employment, from sheltered trainee to full-time employee, with her supervisor, peers and family by her side, Pei-Yi has gained a lot of recognition and a sense of self-fulfillment along the way. Passionate about her work, she once fell and injured her lumbar spine, but still came to work every day, which worried her supervisor and family. For the future, they hope that Pei-Yi will learn to relax and take good care of her health, as long and stable employment is important not only for her but also for the people around her!
