Shortly into the postwar years a group of Seattle parents decided to resist the decades-old concept that developmentally disabled people should be institutionalized. In this collection of narratives, family members, including those who are developmentally disabled, speak about growing up to be self-determined and strong. They discuss educating school systems that refuse to consider the developmentally disabled as learners above all, and living as fully-enfranchised citizens in a society still mired in fear and pity. The photographs tell of fully inclusive families who strove to bring all the children in their midst fully fledged into the outside world, of happy and useful adults who never had to cope with the horrors of life in cages, and of the remarkable few in the helping professions who understood that we all belong here, and we are all precious.
