Re: Disabled Children + Play

March 31, 2000

Terrific article, Gretchen. We've come a long way from how things were when I

was a child and virtually all children with disabilities were hidden away.

When I was young a child who was born with missing fingers was about as

" different " as we saw.

The world is a different place now, fortunately, with people appearing in

malls, on buses, in schools and so forth in wheelchairs, with walkers or

crutches and other mobility aids interacting freely in any group. Around here

people rarely give them a second glance unless they have attractive clothes,

nice hairstyle or some special reason to be noticed. Times have changed for

the better in that way, at least in the Pacific Northwest.
