By Diocesan policy, children with physical or learning disbilities “are to be presented for eucharistic communion [or confirmation] along with their age peers, seeking a degree of understanding appropriate to their individual condition” (Sacraments of Initiation Policies for the Diocese of Pittsburgh). The only reason to delay reception of a sacrament is if you believe it in your child’s best interests.
