St. John Community Services
The mother of a son with special needs was looking for a job for her son, Alex Barth so that he could have a life that was as normal as possible. After looking at twelve different places, Alex’s mother, Martha, found St. John’s Community Service. Alex has loved horses since he was sixteen. He loved riding them, and then he started to love to care for them. Martha knew she had to find a place where her son could do all that and make a living. After contacting twelve different places for people like Alex, who all said that they had horses and Alex could ride them but not take care of them, that’s when Martha knew that St. John’s was going to be the right place for her son. Now, Alex takes care of all of the horses at St. John’s Community Services and loves it. You can find a job no matter what kind of learning disabilities or special needs you have.
