Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 this appeared in another list and I am passing it on because it is so important and I know there are several other people from BC on board. thank you. Gundula Note from Barbara Laird: This is the summer of the petitions and advocacy. I personally know so many young adults who have an IQ at or above 70 who totally need support. Their families are disheartened and exhausted with continuing to help support them in all areas of their lives. IQ should never be used as a criteria for anything for anyone.It origionally was never meant to even be used for most of the individuals we subject to these tests. If these adults do not get the support and services they need, they will continue to never reach their potential, and many will become even a bigger financial burden in society. Our society will have lost the potential and gifts they have to give.What a waste of " people resources. " Sorry, I get carried away on this issue. If you do not have an individual with a disability in your family, we who do, so totally appreciate your support. Sometimes families feel so lost, alone and don't feel that anyone really cares about these issues.Please consider signing this, and passing it on to your family and friends.This is such an important issue,yet again. Many thanks Barbara Laird http://www.petitiononline.com/iqcutoff/petition.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
