Abstract
This case study will focus on the “evolution” of finding meaningful occupation for a young man, Patrick, 27, in spite of his multiple disabilities within his rural home environment in Stowe, Vermont. The purpose of this case study is to show others (family members, therapists, support service individuals and adult agencies) that it is possible to be self-employed despite life’s challenges, and that with some creativity (and funding), there is a niche of meaningful occupation available for all!
