Creative Caring is the story of one determined family whose son,
Ricky, had intellectual disabilities so severe that the typical
resources of a community were not available to him. Finding that
situation intolerable, they fought relentlessly to create a caring
community for Ricky and hundreds of others. Vita Living fought
bureaucratic hurdles, abuse from the community, and serious
economic challenges so it was brought to the edge of collapse. The
goal was to obtain a coveted license to open the first small
community-based home in Texas to provide life long care for people
with severe mental retardation and behaviors. Despite being told it
was impossible, Renee successfully pursued her dream.
This memoir, a reflection on her over 40 years of working with
children and adults with intellectual disabilities, is a call to
action for our society to consider the welfare of all, not only the
able bodied.
Creative Caring is the story of how Renee and Stan turned the
challenges their family faced into triumph. But even more, it's the
story of how they succeeded in creating a more generous and
nurturing environment for an entire population who has much to
contribute to the world around them
