Blog Number Three; "On the Road Again."

Caring for a disabled person whilst moving from place to place can be very different from living a healthy life. I think that if you had to live like that, it would be very difficult because people with disabilities require more attention and have more needs rather than someone who is healthy. My uncle has a learning disability, making it harder for him to make it through everyday life with understanding of what is completely going on, and he has trouble remembering things. Because I am related to someone who has such difficulties, I understand what life is like to take care of someone who is unable to be completely independent (even if I am younger than him). When taking care of someone with a disability, one must remember that they necessitate more attention, instruction, and most of all, love and care. Keeping this in mind, I don't think I can imagine what they might need if they are constantly moving from place to place. Therefore, I believe it may be more difficult to live with someone who is disabled and require many needs.
