“All parents have hopes and dreams for their children. We all want the best for our kids. Being parents to a child with Down syndrome doesn’t change that. We still want our son to succeed, grow and experience the same things our daughter without special needs will. We one day hope he will have his own place to live, a job, friends, a spouse just like we hope our daughter will. Giving him all the opportunities to make this happen is our goal. Having him partake in all of AIM’s programming, both present and future is our hope. Giving him the speech, language and reading skills, socializing skills, participating in group therapies as well as the support from other parents on the same journey with us is so important. Having a program he can learn from throughout his childhood until he is 21 is a welcomed and much needed asset. Words can never express our gratitude to be able to be a part of AIM. Having the consistency and frequency of therapy and support in AIM as well as the support from other families in AIM will help our son reach his full potential. For that we will be forever grateful. ”
