Down syndrome is the most common of the chromosomal disorders, and yet, it is often the subject of misinformation and openly discriminatory policies. Our discussion with Emily Mondschein, Executive Director at GiGi’s Playhouse Buffalo, continues as she shares more strategies for disability inclusion. We discuss:
-How medical practitioners can play a significant role in changing discriminatory attitudes towards individuals with Down syndrome;
-The crucial role that early and elementary education can perform to radically improve inclusion for all disabled and neurodiverse individuals;
-Why updated guidance on the needs of individuals with Down syndrome is an essential component of inclusion;
-A call to doctors, teachers, administrators, and parents to help achieve equitable access of public space for disabled individuals.
