What did DSi do at the Summit?

DSi ran a workshop for people with Down syndrome aimed at getting them to speak up and discuss what self-advocacy means to them. There were lots of passionate self-advocates who had a lot to say about speaking up for themselves.

DSi also delivered a key note speech at the event. During the speech we invited people with Down syndrome on stage to tell the crowd about self-advocacy. We also announced Kayla McKeon as DSi's National Representative with Down Syndrome for the USA.
