Cortana Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 The young lady featured in this story was homeschooled, is now a junior at the University of South Carolina, is working as an assistant teacher at Kindermusik and if that isn't awesome enough...she has down syndrome! Just more comfirmation to me that we have made the right decision to homeschool our special needs kids. :001_smile: http://www.wltx.com/news/article/121995/2/Teacher-Born-With-Down-Syndrome-Breaks-Sterotypes Here is the blog that has been put together to chronicle Bryann's journey. http://notableaccomplishments.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravin Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I found this about the program she's in at USC. Very interesting: http://uscnews.sc.edu/2008/01172008-STUD019.html One thing to keep in mind is that individuals with Down syndrome fall on a range of ability. The high end of that range does overlap with the range of normal ability. It sounds like this young woman has definitely been enabled to reach for her individual potential, which is awesome.
