[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've seen a developmentally disabled adult with a caregiver at the local playground. He was yelling having fun and other parents called the police and complained. It was sad but I understand confusing and maybe scary for the kids. [/quote] If the kids were scared they were probably taking cues from their parents. The solution to their fear is more inclusion not less. It is important to understand that when we remove people with developmental disabilities from the public view, we put them at risk. Private spaces without witnesses are where abuse is at its highest. So, pushing a person with disabilities out of public spaces is putting them at risk of abuse. Similarly, people with developmental disabilities are at high risk in encounters with law enforcement. [/quote]
