A new report in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests our society needs to change its approach to those with disabilities. The report suggests that those with disabilities should not be ostracized or seen as weaker.
The goal should be to include the individuals and work hard with them to find ways to allow them to grow and contribute as much as possible.
