I'm 62 and don't remember any "good old days" of keeping the handicapped out of sight.

Thank for the nice response. There was a time (pre 1980's) where a common recommendation to parents of a new born handicapped baby was to warehouse their child. Geraldo Rivera made his name by exposing a large hell hole institution in NY. Florida had a half dozen similar institutions until the 80's that were called Sunland. They not only housed the mentally handicapped but physically handicapped as well. In 1959 an Air Force doctor made that recommendation to my wife's parents. Fortunately they did not follow his advice.
