This inspiring story from New South Wales, Australia recently caught our attention in that it illustrates how a deeply dedicated mother is trying to work together with local disability services officials, a private banker, and city council officials to spearhead an innovative day care, respite, and supported accomodation program for people with disabilities as they get older. This particular story involves a mother of 23–year old twin sisters, one who has Rett syndrome and one who has high functioning autism.

The heart warming headline of the story sums it up best: “Disabled people have a lot to look forward to”.
