I have always had a motor coordination problem. I know what it is liked to be viewed and treated differently. For this reason, I have a special understanding of those with handicaps of any kind. Many years ago, I worked with multiply handicapped children in a group home run by Mary Cariola. Most of the kids had CP, and were mildly to severely mentally retarded. I loved the work, and left when our adopted son arrived home from Korea.
