It is difficult for us to fully appreciate the difficulties and challenges faced by parents who have a child with special needs. But those who have lived or are living through the experience are building a world in which these challenges can be met. And many good-willed people in the public and private sector are supporting them. The rest of us just need a change of heart. We should stop and consider the vast abilities, potential and successes of children with Down Syndrome.
