WELCOME

Among those of us who care deeply for and about people with developmental disabilities, I hope to hear emerge a new voice, ours, rising together for the benefit of all, harmonizing with reason, respect and hope, and transcending divisions, giving birth to a new era of creative cooperation.

Toward this potential, DD EXCHANGE is for conversation, civil sounding off, sharing of stories, experience, information, resources, and inspiration, giving and receiving support, and creative problem solving.

Kishorit Therapeutic Community: Israel

I've been reading a book, Rachel in the World - A Memoir; and the author took her daughter to this place in Israel. It is a self-sustaining community. I think this would be wonderful for some of our folks! Here is a link to it - http://www.kishorit.co.il/SiteFiles/1/1689/13030.asp -

    Hi Saskia,
    Great to see the pictures. Ed and I were in an Elderhostel program and spent some time in a kibbutz there on the shore of Galilee, so I am
    familiar with the region. I was so impressed how productive the people were. I think they milked their cows about 3X a day--and their crops were
    fabulous. The breakfasts they served were something else! So nutritious- and I thought I would follow their example when I got home--sadly, it didn't happen, but the memory is there.

    I think their community must have plenty of high level folks in it and must have a well organized integration.
