Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

You recommend a housekeeping position at the local hotel for Sandy. Since Sandy completes her own housekeeping tasks at home, you know that she is capable of completing the tasks required to work in housekeeping at the local hotel. Packaging parts at the sheltered workshop is below Sandy's capabilities, while cashier and receptionist jobs involve tasks that Sandy cannot complete on her own.
