Having worked with people who have developmental disabilities and their families for almost 30 years I agree with you totally. They are the most special people and have certainly enriched my life and the lives of those around them.
L’hitraot, Gail

Sadly I know aparent whose child had down’s syndrome. In my opinion the father’s marriage fell apart,because he did not spend time with his son.
The mother was very good to her son. The child died at about 18 or 19.He did have an older sister, who today is married and has 2 children.
On the other side I know an example of a loving family with a disabled child who celebated a Bar Mitzvah a few years ago, and it was very emotional.
