Rita Winkler

Rita and other people born with Down syndrome look a little different. They may have medical problems and need help with learning. Each person with Down syndrome is unique and, like everyone, needs the opportunity to learn and to live a satisfying life. Rita graduated high school, has a job, enjoys drama, reading, spending time with her friends, and being active on social media. Born in Calgary, Rita has two sisters, and now lives with her mother in Toronto.
