Down Syndrome dolls

An interesting post about a new teaching tool cor college kids and a way for Down syndrome kids to feel acceptance. The company - Downi Creations.

It has sparked a debate, according to the London Times.

I think it would be cruel to make it the only doll that a child has. Dolls are an escape. Kids should have dolls that help them dream.

Dolls should also inspire us that it is okay to be who you are.

What would a doll of my look like? Let's see...

• my head's not always straight
• my hands are shaky
• my feet don't stay straight when I walk
• according to strangers who call me on the phone, I sound like I just woke up
• I ride a mobility scooter some of the time
• a doll of me would have to include a toy Sprinter van, complete with a rear wheelchair lift

Hey, a doll of me might be a hit!
