As a daycare supervisor, I brought a group of adolescents with mild intellectual disabilities to a supermarket last Saturday afternoon. Our goal was to hold a birthday party at the center with a budget of fifty dollars. I had believed that they could not manage the grocery, but they proved me wrong.
The adolescents began by taking off the shelves a lot of food, including seaweed, cakes, ice-cream, coke, and so on. I asked them to calculate the total cost and later showed them with my calculator. It was over the budget, so I suggested, 'We only have fifty dollars for the food.' They did not seem to understand, so I added, 'We cannot buy all the food.' One of the group-mates, J, said, 'I'd like to buy the chocolate ice-cream.' Another, M, said, 'I want to buy coke.' It would go on forever, so I urged them to hurry up. Hoping that they could eat healthier food I ended up the one deciding which food to take. Although they did not think I made the best choices they were willing to obey me. As we were about to leave the supermarket, one adolescent, E, reminded the group, 'Remember to take the receipt!'
Now, upon reflecting on this grocery trip, I realized that they were capable of accomplishing the task without my intervention. I had truly underestimated their abilities.
