Blog For Down Syndrome

We read two stories this week that highlighted for us the positive messages of inclusion, good parenting, a caring community and supportive educational system.

The first article about a young lady with down syndrome from our neck of the woods, Allentown PA. The Morning Call web site ran an article about Briana Dunn who was the first child in the Council Rock School District with Down Syndrome to be main streamed. This is a great story to read about a successful young lady and a wonderfully supportive family.

The second article is about a young lady with Down Syndrome. She died in November of heart problems associated with Down syndrome. The article that appearred in the Commercialappealonline.com web site from Memphis highlights the remarkable life of this 25 year old self-advocate who accomplished so much in her short 25 years.
