This article highlights the work and expansion of ServiceNet’s therapeutic vocational farm, Prospect Meadow, which uses neuro-psychological principles, occupational therapy approaches, and learning theory to develop a work system that lets people gain self-esteem and develop work skills as rapidly as they can.
