One of the greatest challenges that we face is peoples attitudes. People with Down syndrome experience all the same emotions as everyone else and should be a part of their own health decisions. It is important that you speak directly to us and use terms we understand not medical jargon.

She says health care workers need to stay calm, be kind and have patience with her. We agree Olivia.
