Kids who have Down Syndrome for the most part are like any typical child. They like to laugh, play games, be with friends, learn new things, be loved, and be a part of a group. They may have some differences physically from other kids and even be challenged mentally; but Down Syndrome kids have a tremendous capacity to adapt and to overcome obstacles. They have a wonderful capacity to love and to share with others. They can learn now to function in a regular classroom, participate in sports activities, hold down a job, have social relationships, even get married some day. They make plans for their future just like all kids do. They have dreams and aspirations that inspire them.
