In this episode I talk with Jennifer Vincent, part time nurse and busy, full time mother of 3, who shares about her youngest daughter, Alexandra. Born with Down syndrome and a heart defect, Alexandra was diagnosed with diabetes at age 9. She is also a thrill loving, sensory seeker who water skis, zip lines and indoor sky dives. Alexandra has a very full life with lots of opportunity and adventure, including going to Nationals in Chicago to represent Texas in the Miss Amazing Teen Pageant. Jennifer believes having a disability should not stop your child from doing things. You just need to provide the necessary accommodations and give them every opportunity to try new things.
