This is one of the reasons for the shift to the term 'intellectual disability' as it refers to a specific disability rather than a group of disabilities.Dave Hingsburgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918601687946534172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-20097757612418449862012-05-04T07:00:39.087-04:002012-05-04T07:00:39.087-04:00Dear Dave:

I loved that the purpose was not, currently, monetary compensation but just to get the government to acknowledge that abuse and neglect did take place in that institution. My brother would of lived in that particular institution for 30 plus years. Although he is non-verbal and we wouldn't be allowed acces to that historical information about him, it is evident, by his behaviour, that he was abused and neglected. It has taken us years to undo some of what was done to him and I am always amazed that in his sixties he proves that age doesn't matter, in a supportive, nurturing environment, the capacity of the brain to learn and grow is still possible!Bubbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068381906840645929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-53570301310594842062012-05-04T06:56:02.815-04:002012-05-04T06:56:02.815-04:00Survey lists cerebral palsy and epilepsy alongside...Survey lists cerebral palsy and epilepsy alongside intellectual impairment... what the actual fuck?!Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15436653419185638854noreply@blogger.com
