Self-advocates

[Guest guest]

He everybody,I want to get in touch with self-advocates with Down syndrome and need your help to identify them. I dont just want people who are articulate and can read well a speech they didnt write. I want the ones that are passionate, that can make a speech without reading (even if his/her articulation or grammar is not so good - I want ideas) , that can improvise and would be willing to represent other people with intellectual disabilities. If you know people with this profile, anywhere in the world, you can write to the group or send it to me in a private email pat_lucas@... as much info as you have (contacts, youtube videos, etc).Thank you!Pat
