Work their Best (10m, USA) Producer: David Scott Director: Dana Altman Work Their Best ties together four individual stories about the lessons learned from a program they graduated from called Project SEARCH. Originally began at Cincinnati Childrens Hospital Medical Center in 1997 as a way to fill high-turnover positions and employ-ability training, Project SEARCH has developed into a research-based total immersion internship program. The classroom is on-site at the workplace and the students participate in three 10-week job rotations in three different departments. This provides an opportunity for the students to try a variety of skills and for the host organization to gain in-depth exposure to potential job applicants. In Work Their Best, the host organization is a Hotel where the graduates are now employed. The employees who tell their stories have had a range of intellectual and developmental disabilities their whole lives. They work in four different departments of the hotel and the audience is given an insight into their world along with their personalities, abilities and gifts. The intention of the film is to open the minds of the audience to the potential of any person with a disability when they are given a chance. The title of the film comes from one of the employees with Autism Spectrum Disorder giving advice to a potential employer about what to consider when hiring someone with a disability. He said, Let them work their best. That would be great for them and they will be grateful for you.
