I have been working with mentally challenged adults for almost 2 years now. If you live in a big city, it should be easy to find a job working with mentally challenged, if you live in a smaller area like I do, it can be a bit harder. For one, try job finding sites.. like indeed.com. That is my favorite site to find jobs, very easy to use and a lot of job postings. I actually got my job by going to a highschool job fair my senior year, which would be a good place to look because they try to recruit you because it's such a good thing to do. There are many jobs that you can work with the mentally challenged, like the special Olympics, group homes, ect. I work in a group home for mentally challenged adults to help them live as independent as possible and help them with tasks that they can't do by themselves. Now if you are talking about jobs that hire mentally challenged individuals, almost any entry level job. Remember the equal opportunity rule. I hope that gives you some insight. If you are looking for a job to work with the mentally challenged, just look around your area, there are businesses like the one I work for everywhere.
