As trainers, we have an amazing opportunity to touch a basically untouched clientele with special needs. As a trainer, I deal with various children, teens, and adults who make me think out of my comfort zone and constantly encourage me to try new things. This is both challenging and rewarding…
I have always had a special heart for kids with special needs, especially those with Down syndrome. Never in my thirty years working with special needs has there been a Down’s child, teen, or adult who has not woven their way into my heart in a unique way. And it also seems like I am more tolerant of their smiles, hugs, flirting with others, and strong will. But this child was very different. He was morbidly obese, and I even noticed the year before when I observed his class that he was going to be one of those handfuls. For the first time in my special education career, I was going to have a child I would have to daily make the choice to love.
