definition for: #theabilityrevolution

Employment for adults with disabilities by using a team approach where two or more disabled adults form a team to obtain full function. The ability team approach is described in the book "The Ability Revolution," and is found on a web site with the same name. The primary focus of the Ability Revolution is to turn a 3 bedroom home into a place of employment called a "Working Group Home", where two disabled adults form a team that becomes state recognized as a Certified Nursing Assistant and then bills medicaid or medicare to provide assisted living services to an elderly or infirm person also living in the house. Eliminating commutes and providing 24/7 care are the two main advantages, but the tax savings of having the Ability Team move from being medicaid reciepients to being tax paying citizens is immense.

theabilityrevolution also refers to using a for profit corporation instead of a nonprofit to support populations that are disabled. Operating a business has far fewer restrictions then operating a nonprofit and it can have a much greater benefit to populations that are disabled.
