[LM_NET] Video or multimedia on mental retardation such as "Life Goes On"

["Fitzgerald, Joy" <Joy.Fitzgerald@VERNONCT.ORG>]

Hi,
 
        One of my teachers has asked if the TV Series, "Life Goes On" is available. 
 I haven't found it anywhere.  Does anyone have it or any ideas to give this 
teacher on alternatives to use with her remedial High School Class. (They are 
reading OF MICE AND MEN and she was looking for a movie or TV show representing 
mental retardation and friendship to show as a comparison.  
 
        The only one I thought  of off the top of my head was either "THE OTHER 
SISTER" or "RAINMAN"
 
         Thank you.
