#WDSD18 #LetsChangeThe Conversation

Last year for #WDSD17 I was given 17 minutes to explain how we need to socially construct a new narrative about Down syndrome — a narrative that more closely reflects the reality of #LifeWithDS.  Seventeen minutes is a long time these days…I get it.  So I’ve condensed my thoughts on reconstructing a new narrative or social conversation about Down syndrome into a short, 2-minute video story featuring some of Everett’s greatest hits (what can I say, he’s a very photographed child!).  With a cameo or two from little brother…

For the extended TEDxACU Talk on this topic, click here.  And by all means…it’s #WDSD18, share the video below, the TEDx Talk, the link to this blog, or whatever you feel like contributes to a new and relevant conversation about Down syndrome!  Happy World Down syndrome Day everyone!  #WDSD18 #LetsChangeTheConversation
