Friends, we’re so excited to have National Down Syndrome Congress (NDSC) Executive Director, Jordan Kough on the show today! He’s here to tell us what to expect at the 51st NDSC Convention, discuss the impact of the Down syndrome community working together, and so much more! We chat about the disability rights movement and how advocacy has created meaningful changes that have impacted policy changes at State and Federal levels. How coming together at NDSC Convention and participating in the advocacy boot camps, self-advocate sessions, educator’s conferences, and other workshops can give us the tools we need to be change-makers in our own communities. We know what amazing friendships we’ve made at past NDSC Convention’s and we hope to see you in Florida for this year’s NDSC Convention!!
