Learning How to be Different Together - Part 1
Troy Tucker & Traci Cyr

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1k6k6upwUo

We are all different. And you dont have to have a disability to be different. Some of us wear glasses, some of us are tall, some of us have Down syndrome. Each of us is different visibly and in other ways. The trick is learning how to be different together.

Troy Tucker and Traci Cyr share their unique perspective as parents of a child with a disability and volunteers for Via of the Lehigh Valley. Via has been serving our community for more than 56 years. Vias mission is to provide support and opportunities for children and adults with disabilities so they can live full, independent and productive lives.

Via gives hope to families across our communities by working hand in hand with parents to give their kids a chance for early success through speech and physical therapy. Via works every day to help people find jobs in our community so that they can have a satisfying job of their choice. And Via helps people, from teens to those at retirement age, connect and live in their community by volunteering and participating in recreational activities.
