Who am I?

As a parent of a child with down syndrome, I know about the pressures of having to advocate for your child. Once you’ve seen the discrimination, miss perceptions, and stereotypes surrounding people with down syndrome, it’s impossible to look away. It’s imperative that you were down syndrome be treated as equal assets in our society. It starts with parents seeing their children as having a value and having a right to be a part of the community as much as any other child
