I have worked with folks with ‘mental disabilities’ for almost 12 years. I guess it is broken down into three categories of ‘mental disabilities’.
Mental Retardation
Brain Injury
Mental Illness
Along the way I have had the privilege of learning how to better relate to folks with and without ‘disabilities’. On this blog I intend to share some tips and tricks of people working in this field to help enhance the quality of life of persons with ‘mental disabilities’.
The first thing we need to know is DO NOT focus on the disability. FOCUS on the abilities of the person. If you are focused on what they can’t do it will block your efforts to teach and coach effectively.
