the subminimum wage is based on productivity of non disabled workers and can get pretty damn low
but the work itself depending on the disability and severity can often be stacking cardboard or something similar to that
typically the work requirement isn't much but is a part of the overall funding of that individual based on their disability and case file
I have clients that make a few bucks a week as the work is required as part of their funding but the work itself isn't much more than some sort of basic task that they are able to safely preform
really it's about getting them into the community with tasks and accomplishments and the companies taking advantage of that by claiming they work with and include those with intellectual disabilities
Many work through places like goodwill where they have a community setting
