Changing the Perspective – Together We Can

October 16 @ 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Gabrielle: ”What do you see when you look at me?” “I bet you see my disability. yet when I look at you I’m not looking for your disability because everyone has them.” “What you cannot see are my talents.” It’s time to change the erspective and together we can do just that. Molly “Guess what?” ” I have a superpower. Can you guess what it is?” “Don’t worry if you can’t because I’m going to tell you.” “My superpower is DOWN SYNDROME” Did you know that I can do everything that I want? And, not only that but people with Down syndromehave specific qualities that make them excellent employees.
