The Shape of the Eye: Stories About Down Syndrome
October 5, 2011
George Estreich, MFA, Author, "The Shape of the Eye: Down Syndrome, Family, and the Stories We Inherit," Corvallis, OR
Ann L. Kellams, M.D., Assistant Professor of Clinical Pediatrics, UVA
In this Medical Center Hour, author George Estreich offers stories from his memoir about raising his daughter, Laura, both to provide a parent's perspective on Down syndrome and to examine how we as a society think and talk about this condition. Estreich is joined by pediatrician Ann Kellams in a program intended to help us think anew about Down syndrome, the persons and families it affects, and our social constructions of and responses to disability.
