Words.

People do not realize their words can be 20 times sharper than surgical steel. More so to an individual with intellectual disabilities.  A few kind words or gesture can go a long way towards making them feel appreciated  and understood.

It takes a very, very small person to slice someone down with words or even tone of voice. 

Respect you because of your authority?  I think not. 

Shame. On. You.
