Thriving with Down Syndrome

Matthew Schwab’s mission is to help change the way the world views Down Syndrome.  His story inspires parents of young children with  Down Syndrome.  It shows everyone…community members, employers, and even family members what IS possible.  He demonstrates that people with Down Syndrome are people first.  They are capable and productive members of society.  As an employee, he shows that inclusion in the workplace is not only an option, but a possible solution.

Matthew Schwab is a 26 year-old North Carolina native who recently realized a life-long dream of living on his own, in an apartment with his younger brother.  He is an advocate, public speaker, and community volunteer.  Matthew is passionate about raising awareness about Down syndrome and the entire IDD community.
