\u201cReady\u2026set\u2026go!\u201d Matthew Cochran yelled excitedly as he raced toward the entrance of his North Shore apartment. Eager to relax after a busy morning of deliveries, a wide grin stretched across his face as his plaid jacket flapped behind him.<\/p>\n

For months, Cochran has successfully managed a Chicago-based vending and delivery business, YIKES! Beverages Where You Want Them<\/a>, in spite of his developmental disability.<\/p>\n

Every Tuesday morning, Cochran and his Clearbrook<\/a> job coach, Colin Drozdoff, fill and stack a rolling cart with Coca-Cola products from the storage unit behind his apartment. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Next, they load a car trunk with a wide range of beverages \u2013 soda, tea, bottled water, and sport and energy drinks \u2013 and drive to various locations to stock vending machines and office break rooms. <\/p>\n

Cochran\u2019s love of soda, money and community involvement all spur his entrepreneurial motivation and spirit. Described as a social butterfly by Drozdoff, Cochran\u2019s giddy, outgoing personality is infectious and \u201cimpossible to not smile\u201d at. Eager to socialize, Cochran actively engages with community members through his YIKES! delivery business. <\/p>\n

Cochran made his first delivery for YIKES! on Dec. 14, 2014. The company name was inspired by the beloved Scooby-Doo signature exclamation \u201cYikes!\u201d<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old, a graduate of New Trier High School\u2019s special education program, started the business with the help of a microboard staffed by his friends and family.<\/p>\n

Another key organization in Cochran\u2019s business was Total Link 2 Community<\/a>, which teamed up with the microboard<\/a> to create a customized job for Cochran that built upon his skillset and interests. <\/p>\n

Janice Weinstein, who founded the company with five other mothers in 2008, stressed the importance of customized employment for individuals with disabilities. So far, Total Link 2 Community has placed 38 people in customized positions, including Cochran. <\/p>\n

\u201cPeople see Matthew as an entrepreneur, as a trail blazer, as someone who has a valuable contribution to make,\u201d Weinstein said. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think other families who do have a son or daughter with a disability will look at Matthew and say, \u2018You know, well, of course he or she should work.\u2019 Other people in the community are working.\u201d <\/p>\n

Prior to YIKES!, Cochran worked a couple of volunteering and part-time jobs. One of his prior jobs was a position at Home Depot, where he dropped boxes off at loading docks for deconstruction.<\/p>\n

However, Elizabeth Drake, Cochran\u2019s mother and microboard leader, became frustrated with these jobs that often fell through and wanted something more meaningful for her son. <\/p>\n

Over a year has passed since YIKES! launched, and it is still going strong. And it\u2019s not everyday you hear of someone with a developmental disability operating his own business. <\/p>\n

Seeing Cochran manage his own business, Drake said she hopes people recognize not only her son\u2019s success, but the self-fulfilling contributions individuals with disabilities can make. <\/p>\n

\u201cJust because you\u2019re disabled doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t do something meaningful,\u201d Drake said. \u201cAnything he [Cochran] can do he should do because it gives him a sense of ownership. It gives him a sense of self-actualization. And I do think that does add to general contentment in life.\u201d <\/p>\n

Cochran currently delivers beverages one day a week. However, Drake said she hopes to eventually have Cochran working three to five days a week. But Cochran is a routine-oriented person and upping his work days will need to be a gradual process. <\/p>\n

As of right now, Drake is grateful and proud of the progress her son has made so far. <\/p>\n
