Since I live in area that contains Real Live Poor People, I'm occasionally reminded that as with many things, most of our elite conversations about dealing with disabilities or children with special needs are about how upper middle class people do or could deal with such issues. One can't always tell a poor person on sight, of course, but there are often enough signals to reasonably make the inference, and seeing poorer people cope with their own disability, or a family member's, is sobering.
