How can you profess to know what this man's disability is just by seeing his picture? You have no idea what diability (or mulitiple disabilities) he has. People who live in group homes or in their own apartments with staff do not take "field trips" to donut shops. Perhaps they wen thter to meet with frineds and share a cup of coffee. For the person who says we spend $300 per day to "provide" for this individual, I wonder where you got your statistics. There are many, many, many budgets that don't even come close to "providing" $300 per day. Why don't you take a look around your community? I think you'd be surprised at just what that money is providing. I'd be willing to bet you have had a service "provided" to you by an individual with a developmental disability that you didn't even know. I would also bet that the space you are taking in our community is more of a waste than any amount of money spent on any individual with a developmental disability!

Even more horrendeous is the fact that our Social Security $$ are being spent at $300 per day (yes per day) to "provide" for this individual!! CHECK IT OUT FOR YOUR SELF! THAT IS $9,000 per month! Let your elected officials know this! I realize that money cannot "FIX" everything...but how can we NOT be aware of this huge WASTE!
