He has a wealth of experience in social service and a passion to serve people with intellectual disabilities, formally mental retardation. He believes this population of people is commonly misunderstood because of inappropriate labels, physical features, and low functioning level. If all persons would be judged according to limitations or inadequacies, then we all could fall in the category of abnormality.
