Meet Penelope! She’s currently 8 years old (in July 2022)
Good thing is that Penelope is in good health and that she is strong girl. She is sweet kid and charming in her own way!
Down Syndrome: Generally, Penelope’s development is slowed down in all areas. Her cognitive skills are more affected and they could be described as severe mental retardation. This is happening for two reasons, first one is Down syndrome and everything that goes with it, the second reason would be, her transfer to, and her stay in social institution, hadn’t helped her to develop her potentials.
