In a profile, CDS Assistive Technology Manager Gail Hamblin, whose son Calvin has Down syndrome and autism, says that her advocacy is driven by a desire to help other families in similar situations. She published a children’s book, “More Alike than Different,” to help those without disabilities understand Down syndrome. She and Calvin also participate in projects and research because increased knowledge about Down syndrome will “make it better for the next family.”
