| Synopsis: | Nearly one out of every 10 children in this country is born with some major or minor disability. Yet, despite the fact that Americans pride themselves on their respect for individuality and human differences, children who are born handicapped still face a degree of rejection and isolation in their lives. Handicapped children have special emotional as well as physical problems, but what most of them express is a desire to be treated as normally as possible. In this program, 9-year-old David, 13-year-old Lisa and 12-year-old Mike tell Dr. Lee Salk how they deal with their handicaps—and how they would like "normal" people to treat them. |
