We should stop paying lip service to the "enablement" philosophy and respect each persons right to be as vital and viable as possible.

Supervision rather than restriction should be the aim. Let "us" be loved and valued for who we are and not restricted because of the perception of others.

Nurture therapy is a wonderful way to encourage caring interaction in a person, male or female.
careful observation of the individual will determine suitability, family and friends can give the staff valuable insight as to the suitability.
There are many and varied interactive "babies" to choose from.
