There was a time when children with mental disabilities were prevented from living a normal life in many ways. They used to cut out in their own homes after being educated in special schools. Other people sometimes make fun of them. But now things are changing. There are training programmes for young people with mental disabilities, which have proved very beneficial. Students like Xie Li, mentally disabled from birth, now have a chance to become athlethes. But it is a challenge . She has to adapt to training programmes as well as mixing with other abled-boiled athelethes. “ Xie Li’s cofidence has grown,” said her father. “She looks much better and is not so often out of breath after her training. In other words her mother and I are very happy with her progress.” So, instead of ______ mainstream activities, mentally disabled students can become part of the mainstream. All in all they can lead a more fulfilling life.
