Grumpaw's Tackle LLC Information

According to Autism Speaks, “More than half of young adults with autism remain unemployed and unenrolled in higher education in the two years after high school.“ As a parent to a (high functioning) child on the spectrum, this information hit me hard. My son’s high school career ends in the spring of ‘28. What can I do to help him launch? What can I create that will play to his strengths? My son isn’t a passionate angler; that’s my thing. but a small business is multi-faceted, and opportunities for developing skill sets abound. With duties ranging from production to e-commerce and everything in between, surely we can build a role that plays to his strengths. And then the obvious became clear; if my son needs an opportunity like this, so do other kids on the Autism Spectrum. And tackle making actually plays to the strengths of many kids on the spectrum; attention to detail, being highly accurate, the ability to closely follow appropriate instruction, creative problem solving. These are all skills you want in this trade. We’re a for-profit enterprise that believes in the highly effective tackle that we build from quality components and sell. And it just so happens that our ideal hires are those who need the opportunity to prove themselves. Grumpaw’s Tackle is meant to be a launch pad where young adults on the Spectrum can learn the ropes of being in the workforce. We seek to build an accommodating environment where ‘disability’ truly just means different ability. We seek to build a place where ‘Ausome people’ can get legitimate experience for their resume, until they are ready to move on. And here’s our KPI: Voluntary Termination (for better opportunities.). "Success" for us means celebrating those who move on to enriching careers. How can you help? If you fish, buy our tackle (or our earrings!.) If you don't fish, tell your friends who do. We need growth to make our dream a reality.
