So I have never actually watched So You Think You Can Dance but when I heard about this contestant I had to check it out. Watch this:

Cool moves, huh! Brett is so cute and confident and well-spoken, exactly the kind of role model I want for my girls. I get so excited seeing adults with Down syndrome out in the world, showing everyone that they are just like everyone else, with talents, ambition, and dreams. I love that Brett is erasing stereotypes and challenging people's preconceptions just by doing what he loves and having fun doing it. His video, and the reactions of those around him, affirms my hope that Madison's future will be very, very bright. I wonder if he knows that he is helping to make the world a better place for people with Down syndrome. For my little girl. I hope so.
