Very inspirational article. I am a geriatric nurse for handicapped people and try my best to gain some publicity on the topic of disability. I also work with 2 down syndrome people on my group and aim for exposing the differences between "normal" and "handicapped" (both are stupid terms) are really marginal. Let`s make inclusion a visibile topic on steemit for the greater good of us all.
Maybe you are interested in my stories I shared on this topic : https://steemit.com/disability/@supermeatboy/working-in-a-home-for-the-mentally-handicapped-part-two
Thanks for being there for people who need the help. Yes the term down syndrome is a bit misleading especially when it comes the word Down which was a persons name. I personally like Trisomy 21 as a better term since it does not lead people to think the word Down is an indication of the disposition of a person. Thanks for your share.
I'll be following you for sure, as I love to read stories about people overcoming challenges. At one time, I was planning on becoming a special education teacher, and I've volunteered in a lot of schools, groups, etc. and have been blessed by the people who live with challenges abut are so positive.
