Communication
Communication
Dominic
I have spent a lot of time with Dom, and he is one of the smartest and happiest kids I have ever met in my life. Dom is very good at processing information, but due to his autism, his verbal communication skills are limited.
Dominic
Joshy
Josh
Josh is a student at my school who has down syndrome. I haven't spent as much time with him as I have some of the other kids from my school, but that doesn't make him any less special. Josh is also mute. Although Josh doesn't speak, he uses other ways to communicate. Joshy communicates his wants or needs by being presented with a question, following by two options, which you present to him by offering your right and left hand. Josh will choose his answer by holding the hand that represents his choice.
Landon
Landoh is my boyfriends uncle. Landon has Lowe syndrome, which is a disability that is almost always exclusive to males. Landoh does try to verbally communicate, but due to his disability he can't. Although Landoh is verbal, he does communicate to us things he needs by pointing in the direction of what it is he wants.
Overcoming Adversity

Adversity
Hannah
Hannah
Hannah is a cheerleader at my school who has down syndrome. Everyone at school loves her, especially her cheer team. The girls on the cheer team look out for Hannah, as well as love and care for her like a sister.
LINKs mrogram
LINKs
The LINKs program has helped our school over come adversity by giving general education students the opportunity to help a student with a disability in a class, or to hang out in the CBI room with the kids and get to know them and help them. Without the LINKs program, I'm not sure if students at our school would be as friendly with students who have disabilities.
CBI Room
CBI Room
The CBI room has also really helped the special education students at our school overcome adversity, but I also think they've helped the general education students as well. By doing things like the muffin cart, and making dance routines for the pep rallies, majority of students at our school our comfortable with interacting with people who have disabilities.
Love
Mary
Mary
Mary is a dear friend of mine who has down syndrome. Mary loves her friends and family, as well as people she doesn't know. Mare Bear is a social gal, who also loves to dance.
Jaylon
Jay
Jaylon loves Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber, and girls. Jay definitely doesn't let the fact that he has autism stop him from shooting his shots with the ladies. He will serenade the girls from with his singing and dancing skills, and I think succeed, because he has many "girlfriends."
Brian
Brian has down syndrome, which makes him very flexible. He uses his flexibility by doing gymnastics, which he is very good at. Brian also dances, and I've seen a few of his moves, and he is a very very talented dancer. I don't know much else about Brian, but I can tell what a spectacular guy he is, just like everyone else can.
Determination
Stella
Stellla
Young
Stella was a woman from Australia who suffered from osteogenesis imperfecta. Before her death in 2014, Stella spoke out about disabilities and how she didn't like to be treated differently because of her diagnosis. She made it clear that others with disabilities feel the same way.
Kyle
Kyle
Maynard
Kyle has congenital amputation, but he didn't let that stop him. Kyle was the first quadruple amputee to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and reach the top.
Aaron
Aaron
Fotheringham
Aaron was born with a birth defect of his spinal cord, which left him unable to use his legs. He never let that stop him, though. Aaron went to the skatepark with his family, where he tried, and failed the first time, to do WCMX. He didn't give up though, and he is now a four time winner of the WCMX, and has accomplished a backflip in his wheelchair.
