The Physically Challenged


If an individual is handicapped, he or she is challenged by Divine Providence to uncover hidden abilities and energies to overcome his or her handicap, and to attain higher levels of achievement than others who are not similarly handicapped.

I strongly recommend a change in the term "handicapped" -- and prefer the term "special" or "excellent". For it is their specialty and excellence that enables them to transcend whatever physical limitations they may have.
