Delaney has a diagnosis of Down syndrome. She works hard to accomplish what comes easy to most. From daily therapies to hours of additional academic work, she works so hard to live in this “typical” world.

From acing her spelling tests, to completing grade level math, and building meaningful friendships, this girl is proving she can do anything she sets her mind to.
