‎31 for 21 -- What has your child with Ds taught you? -- Day #7

We like to use the NDSC’s tagline that our kids are “more alike than different,” which is very true. Kids with Ds might look a little different or learn at a different pace, but in most ways, they are more like their family than not.

Through John Michael, we’ve learned that differences are what make the world a better place. John Michael has a way of reaching people with his huge smile and upbeat personality that most people can’t. It doesn’t take a whole bunch of words or a college degree to be important.

John Michael shows that all life truly is precious and our eyes have been opened to a whole new world because of him.
