He has learned his way around the kitchen and his employU job coach, Michelle, is with him during shifts to guide and assist him when the restaurant is busy. David works at an above-average speed and all his prepped items are consistently accurate. With Michelle's help, David has also learned how to communicate with others around him and how to advocate for himself when needed. They have formed a strong bond of trust and honesty.![]()
