I was already aware that John C. McGinley (who played Dr. Perry Fox on “Scrubs”) has a son with Down syndrome. He has done some fabulous public service announcements that can be viewed on the National Down Syndrome Society website. But, thanks to my friend Stacy Kraus, who shared with me the blog of a friend of hers who has a son with Down syndrome, I stumbled across this video. Stick with it until the end because what he has to say is beautiful.
Could you use a little sunshine in your life?
Then come along as I do my part to drive away the shadows, and since you've stopped by, take a minute to download these Sunny Quotes Printables, free and designed just for you.
Andi,
Thanks for sharing this terrific spot. As a teacher I am out there to help change the views and attitudes of children. We have had class discussions on why this word is so offensive.

I remember seeing this when it was broadcast – I was a big Bonnie Hunt Show fan. Thanks for posting and reminding all of us!
