Ms. Levy said parental reac-
tions to their children's rela-
tionships run the gamut from
complete disapproval to whole-
hearted encouragement.
"Some parents want rela-
tionships for their children; they
feel they'd be happier, especial-

children hurt or taken advan-
tage of, so they don't encourage
them to have relationships."
Some parents make objec-

ents of non-handicapped people
oppose their children's partners,
such as religious differences or
personality clashes.
"Our clients may need more
support and guidance, but the

Living Program includes sup-

counselors work with clients on
an individual basis according to
need.
"We don't offer judgment; we
offer information, choices and

society where more relation-
ships are dysfunctional than
functional, I think in our popu-
lation its the reverse — maybe
because the support is there."
