i think acceptance and empathy for disabilities are found here. facilities and treatments may be a different thing. but it depends on disability, of course. i know an american family here with a disabled child, they do very well as they can afford constant personal care but they have no need for any specific medicine, treatments or processes. they are happy and so is the child.
AND
they can afford Constant Personal Care!!!!
a very big difference to the usual disabled DR Citizen.
you see only a few disabled DR citizens around town.
not that they would not exist, hellNo,
but they are hidden by the family,
to siege their time til the time has come.
myself i find acceptance level of disabled humans in the DR to be on a extreme low level.
if you have the money to afford a full home care,
then you build your private castle for the child, a customized little fake world for the child,
but once leaving the house to walk a street or to visit a average school,
the walls of that castle crush down in no time.
who can afford the own built Castle and pay a top rate private school, suitable for the disabled child,
will be fine. but that would be fine everywhere on the globe.
the average Jane and Joe Family, nooo freakin' way.
