Congrats to Rachel!

It's great to see people with DS achieving their goals in higher education. Inclusion matters! When the doors are open for disabled students, those students have the opportunity to do great things.

Another Rachel, Rachel High, earned her Bachelor's out here in Australia in 2021.

Rachel High lives with Down syndrome and has just earned a bachelor's degree

Flinders University believes Rachel High to be the first person living with Down syndrome to graduate with a university degree in Australia.

"She said improving access was as much about changing community attitudes as providing practical assistance, like deadline extensions and curriculum adjustments."

Curriculum adjustments?
