Michael Rogers, vice president communications for the Small Business Association of Michigan, interviews Christine Ziegler, CEO, MRC Industries, Inc., to learn more about how small employers can help individuals living with developmental or learning disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, emotional impairments and mental illness.

MRC Industries began in the 1940s when a group of parents took the initiative to provide alternatives for their disabled children. Incorporating officially in 1969, MRC has remained close to its family roots while evolving into a non-profit agency that administers innovative and diverse services through its programs: McKercher Services, Pathways Clubhouse, and BridgeWays.
