    I used to believe personally speaking, as someone with a mild learning disability, that I wasn't able to go to college, and that it is only something that normally abled people can do. But now I just completed my freshman year at Texas Woman's University in Denton. I believe that Texas Woman's University has a program for those who are more severely disabled than me. Check it out if you're in the north Texas area.

      It’s competitive because even though the people in the program are disabled, they do have to have a certain level of functioning to be accepted. People who are profoundly intellectually disabled and who do not have enough independent skills cannot do the program.

      Common misconception. It varies from person to person. Not all people with downs can't read or write

    • @d.n.8919
      @d.n.8919 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Many people with DS can read. It depends on their IQ. Some people with DS have severely low IQs and some people with it have what is called “mild” intellectual disability, so their IQs are in the 60-70 range (where 100 is the average and 70 and below is classified as intellectual disability). Someone with an IQ in like the 30-50 range would not be able to read fluently. Of course, it takes a lot of work and help for anyone with any degree of intellectual disability to learn how to read, but it is possible if they have the potential.

    I dont rly like the tone of this interview if im being honest. Microaggressions like “he didnt get the hint” and both the reporter and his parents acting like he cant reach for the stars. Like yes prepare any child of yours for disappointment but dont keep insisting that it wont happen for them… “we kept trying to tell him” like nooo. Thats how ppl in general lose confidence and start 2nd guessing themselves. Im glad he stayed true to himself and believed in himself 💕 many ppl with down syndrome are WAYY more capable than we give them credit for.
