3 Things:

1) Help them find their strengths. Everyone has a gift or strong suit... Help the person to find and develop their strengths. Use these strengths to capitalize on the many things they CAN do.

2) Don't use the "disability" as an excuse. Everyone has some adversity or challenge to overcome, but where appropriate, hold your child to the same standards as you would with any other child. Doing so will make him or her stronger in the long run and give them the best chance to function more independently.

3) Be there to help. Independence doesn't mean dropping someone in the middle of the ocean. Growing up is difficult enough for any child and can be stressful at many different levels. Knowing that they have a safety net is a critical part of developing confidence and allows them to stretch their abilities without being frozen by overwhelming fears of failure.

Once a child can take advantage of his or her strengths, and achieves that critical confidence level to attempt new things, increased independence is not far behind.

Should parents be held responsible for their child actions?

A parents' responsibility is to properly raise the children and give them a good foundation on which to build upon later in life. So... Yes if: The child has any type of disability, if the child is younger than 13, or if the parent could not control their child, and did not ask for help. But... No if: The child is in their teen years and does not have a disability that would include horrible behavior. It's the kids' fault, the kid did it, so why should the parents be responsible for it?
