Most people with disabilities are NOT institutionalized. I am severely disabled from a stroke and live a normal life, live at home, drive, etc. This is being written via voice recognition software as it is difficult for me to type.

Some people with disabilities live in assisted living housing or go into nursing homes, etc.

For many disabled people, the thought of being in an institution is abhorrent, as it is to me.
