​In March 2009, the 4RKids Foundation opened The 2nd Story Manufacturing Center, a place where adult workers with developmental disabilities find meaningful employment within an integrated community setting.  

These workers now have what so many of us take for granted:

• A paycheck
• Social relationships with co-workers
• A sense of self-worth
• Inclusion as valuable adults within a community

Employees with special needs come to us through two paths:  

1. Some individuals are supported through a state contract with the Department of Human Services/Developmental Disabilities Services Division.  These adults receive services in the form of  the In-Home Waiver or the Community-Based Waiver.  Our contract with the state insures that we are providing the best training, job coaching and other services to our employees, and in return, the state offsets a portion of each individual’s salary.  
2. Our other workers participate in the Private Pay Program.  Through this program, adults with special needs who are not receiving services through OKDHS/DDSD can still find employment in our center.  A parent, guardian or silent scholarship donor aids in offsetting the expenses for these employees.

​For more information on the Waiver or Private Pay program for special needs adult workers, visit us any Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM at The 2nd Story Manufacturing Center, 710 Overland Trail, Enid, OK or call us at (580) 237-7890.
