Today, Katie and Stephanie celebrate World Down Syndrome Day by interviewing Stephanie's son, Andy, and his support staff, Will, about what life is like for people with Down syndrome and how support staff help people with disabilities to access the world and meaningfully engage with their communities. Find out what they do on normal days, who they serve, and what they think is important for you to know about Down syndrome.

Please consider making a donation to the Genetic Support Foundation to keep supporting this podcast and our organization that provides free resources about Down syndrome and other genetic conditions to new and expectant parent every day.
