Extractions: of 3 As a little girl, Gerri Zatlow was known in her household as "the other mother." At first, she shared the caretaking of her autistic brother, Douglas, who is seven years her junior. After her parents divorced when she was 12, she provided the only respite for her working mother. She picked Douglas up from school, took him on errands and cooked him supper. He could be a handful. At the grocery store, he would throw lettuce heads and ketchup bottles on the floor while other shoppers stared disapprovingly. "This I could handle," Gerri saysshe would pick up the lettuce and explain to the grocer that her brother was disabled. But when they fought at home, Douglas smashed her perfume bottles, threw her records out the window and had a habit of biting her. If Gerri complained to her mother, she says, "All I ever heard was, 'He can't help it,' or, 'I don't want to hear it.'"

Many of these recipients have been categorized as hard-to-serve, or are described as having individual or multiple barriers to successful employment.

Disabilities are one category of barrier that can make stable employment difficult.
