I believe everyone deserves a proper chance in life. If the only thing standing in someone’s way is my attitude, I will do my best to get out of their way and extend a hand toward them.

To try to return just a little bit of the love those with IDDs share with us so freely.

I have been working with individuals with IDD as a behavior analyst and I am interested in making connections in a more casual environment!

Because we all deserve to be accepted. We all bring gifts to our communities.

I pledge because people who have IDD deserve to have a large impact in our society. I encourage all businesses to pursue these talented individuals, not for sympathy but to help achieve their goals. We need to focus on the individual person and not the disability.

I pledge for the support of my IDD daughter and those like her that are special in ways beyond measure.

I take this pledge because I believe people with IDDs are just as capable as anyone else and deserve their rightful place in society.
