The video below is a recording of a presentation from the Adult Down Syndrome Center's Healthy You, Healthy Me, Healthy Us Conference held on April 6, 2019. The presenters are Grace O'Connor and Ann Garcia, patient advocates at the Center. Grace and Ann are joined by Elizabeth Bazarek and Jenna Richards, two young women with Down syndrome, and their mothers. At the Center, we have seen how important it is to physical and mental health for individuals with Down syndrome to remain actively engaged in activities and social relationships. This presentation covers how to help adults with Down syndrome experience meaningful lives in their communities, with or without state funding. The presentation slides can be viewed at this link.
