Breaking down
barriers

A personal look into the lives of three couples with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Alan and Cathy met in 1985 over a “romantic Twinkie” in Flatbush, Brooklyn. After 3 years of dating, they decided to tie the knot. Charles and Valerie met by chance in 2006 and three weeks later decided to get married. In 1965, at the age of 14, Marty and Arlene met and have been inseparable ever since.
