“Decades ago, people with Down syndrome were institutionalized at birth. Doctors believed that people with Down syndrome "could not learn, could not add value to the world and could not be employed."
Obviously, this is extremely untrue. Thanks to full inclusion into mainstream schools, people with Down syndrome are learning right alongside their peers -- and doing great. Thanks to the generally positive nature and bright light of people with Down syndrome, they are adding exceptional value to the world. And, thanks to employers that recognize that people with Down syndrome are not only employable but also valuable assets to a workplace, many businesses have opened their doors to employ countless people with Down syndrome.”
