 im doing a speech on children with disabilities and i think that children with disablities are no different for kids that dont have mentaly isues, they just need help doing what other kids do like learning playing sports. i hate going out in public and seeing other children/ teens and sometimes adults looking at these children like there some kind of alien my mom works with these children and thought me, that they are no different then we like i said they just need more help doing it :)

 my granddaughter is diagnosed mildly mentally challenged. she is very social and startef k1 this year, she is not toilet trained but knows when she has to go, she does not talk and is based at age 2 although she just turned 6.she has a genetic condition that is very rare and so far untreatable.she is the light of our life, we look after her on a daily basis as dad works and mum has given up custody and care. she is put in our home for a specific reason which has yet been shown to us but our life is enrichen because of her.she gives hugs and kisses and waits for us to come home and i think sometimes i wouldn't be so quick to come through the door if her smile and greeting wasn't there for me every morning.

 i have a five year old son who is pretty average in all areas, and my fiance's son seems to be different. i've tried talking to him, he refuses to see anything. he just says that he is a little slower to talk. but he's 5 as well, and barely potty trained and can hardly talk. i've done reaserch and i think he's borederline autistic, but i'm not the parent, so there's nothing i can do. i can see the little guy struggling and it's frusterating.

 john is a 5-year-old girl who is not toilet-trained as yet. her father finds her an embarrassment and does not invite his friends over to the house. her mother is quite sick of training her and the maids of cleaning up. they finally decided to take her to a doctor where they found out that her growth was retarded due to a mental deficiency. this meant that she had a low i.q. no wonder her teachers complained about her so much. until now everyone thought that she was just a little slow on the uptake. this is what normally happens in borderline cases. they sometimes go undetected for awhile.

 this article is very thouhtprovoking. more informations will help the parents and teachers in this field. more light may be directed how to get financial support from philanthropic persons and multinaionals for the school for the children in need of special care. with out their generous support no ngos can run any such establisment so their support is imperative

 i beleive this a great article if you are having a hard time adjusting to someone who is mr. my daughter is mentally retarded and i understand how people look at her. i agree that these children can do more then they are given credit for. the doctor's told us that our child would amount to nothing, but we wouldn't give up on her. just a few years later she is able to walk with a walker and is doing so much more. her doctors are amazed that she could even crawl, little lone walking with assistance. never giv eup on your child. they are miracles no matter what!

 this article is an excellent one because it educates the genral public about mental retardation but no one can really know what it is like to deal with amentally retarded person until they have gone through it. parents please dont let a mentally retarded child be a problem because there is hope and the child can probably do just as much as the normal child. achild is a gift from god pray and he will answer.

 i would like to encourage parents of the mentally challenged children to never give up on their children. my girl was hit by stroke at 18 mounths and she lost mobility and speech. she was always shaking without any balance. i was so devastated but i kept on following the instructions of the physiotherapist. right now she has gained balance and a little speech. im so hopeful that one day she will recover. lets all be hopeful and give our children all the support they need.
