Down Syndrome: A historical overview and a present look into the life of my son, Bentley
If we don’t know history- how can we understand the present? Join me as we look into the
historical attitudes and cultural shifts about Down Syndrome. From laws, to labels, to deficits, and segregation- let’s consider how language and our fundamental beliefs can impact our perspectives.

About the Speaker: Adrienne Crawford facilitates a national program for a local nonprofit
focusing on advocacy for and with individuals with intellectual disabilities. She has also attended countless conferences and trainings on various aspects of disability advocacy. Adrienne is the mother of three children: Bentley (10), Clayton (9), and Lillian (7).
