Brandon's talk was inspirational and informative. He brought the room to laughter and tears. He challenged us to rethink the standard medical approach to individuals challenged by disability. Absolutely a must for every medical student and professional.

Brandon is an inspiration to all he comes in contact with. He provides a much needed counterpoint to much of the negative outlook and recommendations about Trisomy 18 conditions. He is a wonderful spokesperson for the many who have no voice or who have been ignored when sharing about the possibilities rather than the challenges.

There wasn't a dry eye in the room when Brandon explained being bullied at school while teachers stood by and did nothing. Yet he also talks about his love of life, his hope for the future, and his mission to educate others. Thank you Brandon for your courage and your passion and helping us shape the future.
