This is a wonderful speech given by Paul Daugherty about his daughter with Down syndrome & the high expectations he & his wife have for her. It is a wonderful read.

I started this blog hoping to inspire other parents to help their children with Down syndrome reach for the sky! My daughter was reading words, before she was 2 years of age & reading books by 3.5 years. I believe kids with Down syndrome can do amazing things if we give them the right tools. I truly believe high expectations can make a tremendous difference in the lives of our children!
Your posts title is one of our mantra's- for all of our children as well as for our own personal lives. Its so important. :)
