Janice Fialka showed a new documentary(記錄片)about her cognitively(認知地)disabled son at schools across the country. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, but one comment from a teacher proved to Fialka her family’s investment was a success. “In Baltimore an early childhood teacher came up and said ‘I have to apologize to the family of a 4 year old with Down Syndrome(先天愚型)’” Fialka said. “She said ‘I told them to be more realistic about their dreams for him. Now I have to tell them I’m sorry.’”

The story of Micah Fialka Feldman, a 22 year old Oakland University student, is meant to show parents, educators and the disabled anything is possible. Micah wrote in an essay titled “I wanted to go to college and my dream came true.” A lot of people didn’t think he could go to college, but because family and friends believed in him, he learned how to take public transportation to campus and found teachers who helped him pick the best classes. The title of the film “Through the same door ”came from a day when Micah, who was admitted to a first grade special education program, told his parents he wanted to walk through the same door as the rest of the kids at his school. It led to him becoming the first student with cognitive disabilities in mainstream classrooms in Berkley.

Though he can’t read or write on his own, Micah reached amazing heights with the help of voice recognition computer software.At Berkley High School, Micah won the Social Studies Department Award for civic(公民的)involvement. In 2004 she received the Michigan “Yes, I Can” award  for self advocacy(自強). He finished high school in 2003 with a certificate of attendance, and entered Oakland University through the Transitions Program.

Fialka said, “He’s the happiest kid in the world. Everyone should be so happy.”
