EVERY LIFE IS EQUAL: Essays and Stories About Developmental Disabilities and Intellectual Challenges

Every Life Is Equal is a book that celebrates the lives of men and women with developmental disabilities. It is inspired by the work of the Meadows Center for Opportunity, a nonprofit foundation that provides employment and vocational training for adults with intellectual challenges. The emotionally powerful writing is the same style that has led thousands of people to follow the Meadows on twitter and has generated tens of thousands of page views on their blog. Topics include autism, Down syndrome, speech disorders, dementia, inclusion, diversity, parenting and many more. Each chapter is thought provoking, uplifting, touching and heartwarming. Taken together they provide a true sense of what life is like for people with developmental disabilities and for the families that love them.
