John and Mark of Johns Crazy Socks Speak to the Massapequa SEPTA

At John’s Crazy Socks, part of our mission is to show what people with differing abilities can do. Part of that effort means we speak to people with differing abilities and their families about finding meaningful work. We want them to know that there are opportunities for them to work and how we need them to work. That commitment led us to speak with the Special Education Parent Teacher Association (SEPTA) in the Massapequa School District.
