Questions & Answers
Question : How can we raise money to build a recreation center for adults with dev.disabilities at our nonprofit daycare?
We need to raise money for the construction of a recreation center to add on to our growing Adult daycare for adults with developmental disabilities. We are a nonprofit agency on a very small budget. We need more space because we are the only adult daycare of this type in OKC.
Answer:
As well as the usual fundraisers try approaching the local businesses for a donation. I would write a letter in the first instance and then follow up with a phone call about a week later, youhave to be committed to get the money. I would also enlist the help of the local paper and see what donations you get froma story written in the local paper, especially mentioning that you are enlisting the help of local businesses :-) good luck!

Question : Positive ways people with disabilities are treated?
Can you list 5 ways people with disabilities are treated positively and 5 ways people with disabilities are treated negatively? Thanks! It's for my homework and I can't think of anything.
Answer:
Here are some examples.
Positive:
- Treat them with respect.
- See them as people first. The disability does not define who they are.
- Talk directly to them instead of to the person accompanying them (for example: "John, what would you like to drink?" instead of "Marie, what does John drink?")
- Don't stare at them, but also don't completely ignore them. Acknowledge them like you would acknowledge other people.
- Let them make their own decisions. Don't decide what they can or cannot do (for example: ask a person who uses a wheelchair if they want to go swimming with you instead of just assuming that they can't).
- Don't help without asking first. People with disabilities are able to do many things by themselves and don't always need or want help. Constantly helping them when it's not really needed can annoy them, as this gives the impression you don't think they are able to do anything without help.
Negative:
Pretty much the opposite of what I listed above. Examples:
- Treating a physically disabled person as if they were mentally challenged or dumb too. Treating a mentally ill person as dumb (mental illnesses have nothing to do with one's IQ). Treating people with disabilities like children.
- Deciding things for the disabled person instead of letting them have a say in their own life.
- Treating them as incapable or useless.
- Pitying them. That is patronizing and gives the impression you think they are incapable of anything since they're disabled.
- Not giving them opportunities, assuming they can't succeed.

Question : Do any of the children on Jon and Kate Plus 8 have physical or mental disabilities?
I have just started watching the show, and really enjoy how honest the parents are about their experiences. I haven't been watching for long enough to know much about the individual children, but one or two of them have facial features that resemble children with Downs Syndrome. Is this coincidence or do any of these children struggle with disabilities?
Answer:
One boy (Joel) has hearing aids, and another (Aden) wears glasses. Thats it as far as I know.
Downs syndrome used to be called mongoloid syndrome, the features of a downs child were thought to resemble that of Asian or Mongolian features. Since Jon is 1/2 Korean his kids all have varying degrees of Asian features, some with more Asian eyes than others.
