From the Sheltered Workshop to Musical Mentor: A Conversation with Sunny Cefaratti

Following last month’s webinar, “Celebrating Olmstead: It’s Time for 14(c) Phase-Out: Lessons Learned from Advancing Legislation & Leaving the Shop”, we go deeper with one of the webinar presenters, Sunny Cefaratti, about her early post-high school experience of going to work in a sheltered workshop, how she asserted her desire to leave the sheltered workshop, and how she built an independent life of music as the co-founder and Autistic Self Advocacy Mentor at the Musical Autist.
