My heart is so happy to hear this. ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 no matter how different the child is, it never means to treat them different. No matter what condition the child has we as parents must give them the best love and care possible. Thankyou for raising him mom and dad!
I used to believe personally speaking, as someone with a mild learning disability, that I wasn't able to go to college, and that it is only something that normally abled people can do. But now I just completed my freshman year at Texas Woman's University in Denton. I believe that Texas Woman's University has a program for those who are more severely disabled than me. Check it out if you're in the north Texas area.
It's such a good idea to have programs like this. People with Down Syndrome have so much to offer. With a little help, they can make our society a better place!
Very inspirational indeed....but it is normal and right that Down Snydrome people accesss higher education. They probably have a lot to teach us about our humanity.
Steve Morse and creativity, different angles, perspective, put of the box thinking because reslly it is all about the journey that teaches us humans. not the end goal.
I dont rly like the tone of this interview if im being honest. Microaggressions like “he didnt get the hint” and both the reporter and his parents acting like he cant reach for the stars. Like yes prepare any child of yours for disappointment but dont keep insisting that it wont happen for them… “we kept trying to tell him” like nooo. Thats how ppl in general lose confidence and start 2nd guessing themselves. Im glad he stayed true to himself and believed in himself 💕 many ppl with down syndrome are WAYY more capable than we give them credit for.
It’s competitive because even though the people in the program are disabled, they do have to have a certain level of functioning to be accepted. People who are profoundly intellectually disabled and who do not have enough independent skills cannot do the program.
Many people with DS can read. It depends on their IQ. Some people with DS have severely low IQs and some people with it have what is called “mild” intellectual disability, so their IQs are in the 60-70 range (where 100 is the average and 70 and below is classified as intellectual disability). Someone with an IQ in like the 30-50 range would not be able to read fluently. Of course, it takes a lot of work and help for anyone with any degree of intellectual disability to learn how to read, but it is possible if they have the potential.
oh what a cool story to hear about because i have the same problem as Ryan and i never went to college because after I graduated from high school me,our parents moved to nh...( even though that does sound kind of cool but now i live in ma w/ our parents in an apt.til our new house is built in taunton,ma)
but that's ok(because then i joined the program called rec-connect) which is a program for people who have a disability do fun stuff on zoom or in person w/ our friends......
People with lea ring disability can go to college too I have 7 college credits reading early childhood Im same job 29 years You can do it pass college life skills

College DOES NOT guarantee success! I don’t have a college degree and I bring to my checking account $1,200/week.. The first step in success is knowing what you’re passionate about and go from there. Who knows maybe you don’t need to spend $60,000 to be successful.
This should be at every university. Absolutely extremely important to have these type of programs.

no dont do that
when he tossed his laundry down the stairs to his mom that's what I do at home lol XD that's the quickest way to get it to the laundry room .
That proves he will fit right in
Applause to Ryan. I am so happy that he got into the college that he wanted!
I feel happy for him and a bit sad for him
Aaron formanek Gibson I only feel sad for myself and me trying to make it to a good college
Forget about the sadness and think about the happiness! 😉

I’m crying 😭I feel so glad for him
Let’s hope he reaches his big dreams! I pray to god he does.
Great!I hope he gets the help he needs at college and feel welcome.
this video is amazing
I had a paper route . One house was 5 adults with this. They are the best. I was 10 and they treated me so well. I wish them all the best! Thank you😃

He's really high functioning for his condition
don’t use high functioning. I don’t want to explain it rn, because google exists. Just type in “High functioning offensive”

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ make me teary to see students like Ryan get accepted to help them anything they wants to be
1:33 I’m dying that was hilarious 😂 he said here ya go!!
Hey! I work for this program!
With all of the craziness going on i the world, it's always good to find stories that make you feel good
My lil boi is 2 years old...just brings a tear to my eye.
Yes it does

Wonderful, keep going brave man.
What a great parent
I love that because he is the same as all of us and got to go to collage
I wonder how it’s highly competitive. Like it couldn’t be that they select the “least disabled”.
LMFAO
It’s competitive because even though the people in the program are disabled, they do have to have a certain level of functioning to be accepted. People who are profoundly intellectually disabled and who do not have enough independent skills cannot do the program.
Glad he gets to go to Clemson, living his dream.
The syndrome is down, but the hopes are UP 🔛🔝
😆
🤭🤭😂
Down's Syndrome is only a name!
Hope Everything Worked Out Well For You Ryan x
Can we have an update on him?
OMG IM CRY THIS IS SO NICE!😭
One of my strongest desires in life is to see everyone reach their full potential.
Congratulations 🎊 young man..nothing is impossible ❤
i was surprised he could read his college acceptance letter not making fun of him though just suprised
Thats just having common sense its not mean to be surprised about that because thats just reality people like him not getting accepted a lot
It is a disability that effects reading social skills and speech but it seems like it's not a disability and that they are like us
Common misconception. It varies from person to person. Not all people with downs can't read or write
Many people with DS can read. It depends on their IQ. Some people with DS have severely low IQs and some people with it have what is called “mild” intellectual disability, so their IQs are in the 60-70 range (where 100 is the average and 70 and below is classified as intellectual disability).

Of course, it takes a lot of work and help for anyone with any degree of intellectual disability to learn how to read, but it is possible if they have the potential.
The fact they only have 10 spots is so sad. We need to be more accessible
Aww that’s just perfect, you go for it my man
Possibly the most normal guy i've ever seen.
😂 imagine those friends faces when they see him in college.. They probably like wow I guess we got to keep hanging out with that guy…….😆
Not everyone is like you
