It is not easy to care for a special needs child. Especially, it is easy to understand parents’ worries about their
grown up children. Living in one’s own family or supported living in the community are much more preferable
than the options the state can offer. The author — a mother of a young woman with autism — contemplates
about possibilities for independent living for a person with special needs after their parents are gone. She is
confident that teaching a child skills for independent living is not less important than giving them school education.
The author illustrates her thoughts with real examples of support for adults with disabilities in their
independent life or life in a foster family in a city, as well in rural areas. |
