Anthony at Your Service is a business that employs adults with intellectual disabilities to do custom deliveries in the Edmonton area. Deborah Barrett's son, Anthony, is the inspiration behind Anthony at Your Service.
"Anthony at Your Service demonstrates that individuals with significant intellectual disabilities can contribute meaningfully to their community through visible, paid employment. This initiative changes social perceptions and cultural perspectives while creating real jobs for real pay. Dr. Barrett's vision, perseverance and hard work give adults with intellectual disabilities and families hope for a better future they haven't had until now."
- Lyndon Parakin, vice-president, Autism Society Alberta
