I used to work with people with cognitive and physical disabilities. It was extremely rewarding and difficult - but in a way that betters the soul. Thanks for posting this.

it really is...some things you just have to be a part of before you can begin to understand them...and I would say knowing and working with people that have disabilities can never fully be explained, it has to be experienced...its eye opening and makes you really look hard at yourself and how you see the world...at least for me... ;D
