Disability Highlight: Tim's Place

Here is a feel-good story about a man with Down Syndrome who owns not only lives on his own, but owns and runs a restaurant called Tim's Place in Albuquerque, New Mexico.


Now, as the story states, the restaurant is basically paid for and run by his father and other individuals. Still, the fact that he lives on his own and is able to do as much as he does at this restaurant is amazing. This is a great example of what great parenting, great life skills education, and an open-arms, inclusive society can produce.  This make me proud to be someone who works in Special Education.
