A meaningful lecture- Down Syndrome

One of our lecture this semester was on a topic very close to my heart- Down syndrome. The main reason why it is so close to my heart, is because i met a little boy with Down Syndrome when i was 12, and he was the reason that I got intoduced to Occupational Therapy. He was 8 years old but at the developmental age of 3. He was so loving and beautiful, he took to me very easily as we played in  the garden. His mom then suggested, even though I was only 12, that I should look into OT when I finish school. And here I am, studying OT 9 years later. My childhood dream was introduced to me because of a little boy with down syndrome. We had an external lecturer come and see our class. She is from the Down Syndrome Association for South Africa and this lady has a daughter with Down Syndrome. It was a touching lecture that really opened up our eyes to these special children. :
