The day after his graduation from Park School ( at the age of 21 ) Michael was given a scrap of watercolor paper and some paints just to keep him busy. Michael painted all day long and had to be coaxed to stop and eat lunch. Michael’s first watercolor was awesome!! When asked in utter amazement, "Michael, this is really good.

Extractions: Links TGMD Our Mission: To conduct and disseminate basic scientific research to better understand the complexity of individuals with Down syndrome and to utilize this knowledge to drive clinical services. We describe complexity as the dynamic interactions of biological and psychological factors that contribute to the overall quality of the individual's motor behavior. As we learn more about the relevant factors that may alter behavior, this information is used to design and test interventions to improve the quality of functioning in people with Down syndrome. Our goal is to share this information with scientists, parents, and professionals around the world through presentations and publications of current research , discussion of review papers , and organization of seminars. As part of the University of Michigan and the Division of Kinesiology, we create interdisciplinary and collaborative learning opportunities for researchers at the undergraduate through post-doctoral levels. The ultimate outcome will be a significant increase in the number of people conducting research and scholarship related to individuals with Down syndrome, hopefully leading to meaningful development of movement, play, and sport skills.

Extractions: "Their parents were told to expect nothing. But Jason Kingsley and Mitchell Levitz were lucky, because their parents didn't listen. They gave their sons that chance to show how far they could goand they've astounded everyone! COUNT US IN tells their storyand asks the rest of us to throw out our outmoded notions about people with developmental disabilities." ......Jane Pauley Even with today's more enlightened attitudes, people with disabilities are too often thought of in terms of what they can't do. For many of these individuals, and their families, friends, and advocates, convincing wary school administrators to admit them to regular academic programs, and potential employers to hire them, is still an uphill battle. by JASON KINGSLEY MITCHELL LEVITZ COUNT US IN: Growing up with Down Syndrome (Harcourt Brace,$9.95 paper) is a powerful, moving statement about the full potential of people with developmental disabilities from two accomplished and energetic young adults who have succeeded despite their disability, and far beyond anyone's expectations of them at birth. In their own words, Jason Kingsley , and his friend Mitchell Levitz , describe the special challenges of growing up with Down syndrome, and how, with the love and support of their families and other adults, they have overcome many difficult obstacles. They share their innermost thoughts and feelings on a wide range of topics: school, friends, politics, careers, sex, marriage, and their hope and plans for the future.
