Vocside stories

Ed began his Vocational venture working in the workshop, which he enjoyed immensely.  He was recently given the opportunity to work at the Children’s Museum in West Hartford, CT. He appeared nervous at first with working with the different animals. Ed is very serious about getting his work done and doing it correctly. On one occasion stand out to me in particular.  On this day, Ed seemed nervous when picking up the chinchillas to move them into the pet carrier.   When he would try to pick them up, they would scatter away. This made Ed jump back.  His response was “these little buggers are fast”.  This made both of us laugh.  Ed after several tries caught them so that he could continue cleaning the cage.  He then had to put the Chinchillas back into their cage.  While doing this he was talking to them and telling them to stay still.  Ed was successful at put the chinchillas back in their home.
