International Self Advocate Speaker Emmanuel's self-advocate presentation is targeted to parents and professionals to raise hope and awareness of the abilities in persons with Down syndrome. His presentation is entitled "My Abilities" and shows the life with Down syndrome: his interests and accomplishments in sports, music and academics. Golf, biking, violin, swimming, etc. video clips will be shown. Q&A follows the presentation. Goals and objectives: 1. Highlight the abilities, talents, skills, gifts and potential in Down syndrome. 2. Counteract the low expectations in Down syndrome. 3. Show that the joy of living does not preclude individuals with Down syndrome. 4. Mitigate the prevalence that everything told or written about Down syndrome comes primarily from someone without Down syndrome.
