I thought that some people would like this as much as I do. We held a celebration of "Children's Year" in our area. This applies to families with special needs and community awareness. They sent articles to children from all schools and sent a letter to draw a picture that "Why do you think that disabled people should treat you like me ...?" This is our 6 year old daughter Madison wrote about our daughter Kimberly:
I think that people with disabilities should be treated the same way as myself. If you are abandoned, how do you feel? I have a disabled 4 year old sister. Her brain is not functioning properly, so she has a CP.
She should go to the park so that she can have fun on the swing and the slide. Sometimes I go to the park near our house, but she will not go. The park should be suitable for everyone, but she has no tools to use. If she can keep on swinging, she needs a special swing
She should go to a restaurant to have a meal. Some of my older sister's wheelchair ramps do not exist, but she sits there and is eating. Sometimes she tries to sit on a high chair, but she always slides. Sometimes people whisper to her, sometimes people point to her. It is not good to tease people with disabilities. It hurts their feelings and sometimes hurts my feelings.
Because disabled children should be able to attend school, their brains can begin to work better. They should be allowed to do the same thing with all the other children. Sometimes they may need some special help. Sometimes, they need someone else to help them. Sometimes they also need special equipment to help them
Sometimes people with disabilities also need their whereabouts. At McDonald's, I have a ball pit that I can play with other kids, but my older sister can not. They need less deep pits and adults can help the children who need it.
Sometimes I hope my sister will get better. She can play with me, she can not only do what I can but also what I can do. But I still love her as much as she does, and I think that other people do the same. People with disabilities are also people. Just because others can not do it should not be handled differently.

Ivanova Smith is a newly developed mother with a developmental disorder and wrote a wonderful way to make Washington's blog ACLU a caring and responsible person a caring and responsible parent. This choice of people with disabilities should not be rejected. Given the unfortunate history of unwilling sterilization of people with disabilities across the country, the state must pay special attention to avoid sterilization of people who can not freely select for any reason. It is important to leave the era where people with disabilities lack options for fertility treatment.
First, let's see why some people feel discomfort to people with disabilities. One reason is that some people feel sad for people with disabilities and they think they are suffering from disability. In many cases, this is incorrect. People with many obstacles believe that their lives are enriched by the experience of disability and choose not to do so even if they have the opportunity to eliminate their obstacles. The basic question that many people face is what is the appropriate term such as disability, injury, obstacle? When you work with someone, you can ask the word the person likes. When speaking or writing in general, it is necessary to investigate something in order to use widely accepted terms and to avoid potentially unpleasant terms. There are some guidelines later in this chapter.
Never use a specific disabled article "the" to explain a person with disabilities. The preferred term "Persons with disabilities" emphasizes individuality and avoids objectiveization. If it is appropriate to mention someone's obstruction, do not forget to use the correct term to explain the specific obstacle
