Having a child with intellectual disability (ID) is, more often than not, viewed negatively. It comes with a sense of dread, hopelessness and even helplessness. The narrative that having a child with ID is pitiful and to some people, disastrous, is often the single psychological barrier that prevents the child and his or her family from living a more fulfilling life. While it is undeniable that life becomes more difficult when a child is diagnosed with ID, living under the cloud of pity doesn’t help. What is important is to understand that there are many things parents can do to facilitate their child’s development into a healthy and valuable member of the community. Such efforts should also be carried out together, in collaboration with professionals, industries and the community.
