Exceptional Episode

An excellent episode which highlights, focuses on, acts as a means for providing and offering hope to children with learning disabilities.

This episode not only enriches the understanding of learning disabilities such as autism individuals may have but focuses also on ensuring that crucial early intervention takes place so the child is provided with the best possible start to life.

Whilst the method used is perhaps not fully agreeable the message of hope, importance of life and the offering of much needed education of learning disabilities. As treatable and manageable as opposed to being viewed as terminal illnesses.
