I've worked with special needs kids my whole life. So many parents cry at their kids IEP meetings. They say, "The doctors told us he'd be a vegetable". "The doctor said he'd never tell time. " "Put him in an institution and never think of him again." Don't do it! A lot of us have kids who are challenged and yes, it's hard. But don't believe the worst thing you hear. It's a beautiful journey

Zachary is a tribute to you Mum and to himself. Please tell him from me that I had so much happiness watching him in this video as he proves to everyone that he can do anything he sets out to do in life. Zachary, you're such a smart, kind, determined young man. Also very handsome... Lots of love to you and your Mum ❤❤❤xxx

Zachary and his mom are both inspirations! It took a lot of courage for mom to push him out of the nest and make him go be on his own. But look at how amazing and fulfilled his life has become. He was a job, classes, responsibilities, and a sense of purpose that we all need. We should all go around with a positive can-do attitude like Zachary has, and be thankful that the world has changed for people with disabilities.

WOW❤ This makes me so sad for all people in the past(as recently as 80's and 70's and way back) who had Down and who were just not expected to understand much or to do much, how little effort was done to help them grow into independent lives. I guess we just didn't understand much about Down back then. RU-vid has done so much good for people with Down; we now know so much more about them, than we knew before people started to post videos like this one! If anyone I know is expecting a baby with Down; THIS is the video I would ask them, demand them, to watch!! Much love from Finland🇫🇮
