Man with Autism Opens His Own Coffee Shop After Struggling to Find a Job
When Michael Coyne, a Special Olympics of Rhode Island athlete with autism, had trouble finding employment in his hometown, he started his very own business to help others like him.
Using the rejection as motivation, Michael enrolled in business classes through the state’s Developmental Disabilities Council. Upon completion, Michael and his mother Sheila Coyne set up the business so that it could include those with special needs. “What I liked about the coffee shop idea is the community. We learn on both sides,” she continued. “We teach people, ‘Yeah, he has a disability, but look what he’s doing. And he’s out in the community getting his social skills.'”
“It’s making accommodations that I think the business community thinks is going to be costly, but it’s really not,” Sheila told local newspaper The Valley Breeze.
