Unfortunately, far too many people use this word loosely. Imagine what it is like for parents of special needs children like myself to hear this word being thrown around like that. I guess that is why Ideal Way is needed and is here. More needs to be done to stop this.Stephanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304286238611054455.post-21216681148367097152009-04-06T14:30:00.000-04:002009-04-06T14:30:00.000-04:00I agree, Terri, it is time for this change.

You're right: the key to 'changing the conversation' is educating mainstream society - to create, together, a "world where persons with intellectual disability are valued, included, and appreciated for whom they are."Maureen Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575825605911662634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304286238611054455.post-43149046887097767632009-04-01T11:00:00.000-04:002009-04-01T11:00:00.000-04:00GREAT campaign.
