Description

When it came time for Jeremy to move away from home, he soon realized that the housing options available didn’t suit him. That’s until his older brother Nathaniel (who you may recognize from episode 122) started Cohome, an inclusive housing program in Morristown, New Jersey. Today, Jeremy lives independently at Cohome and spends his time working at a restaurant, ballroom dancing, and book writing. He also happens to be Micha’s neighbor (we’re jealous!) which means he has become her son Ace’s unofficial mentor.. and his perspective on being a role model might just surprise you! Join us for this episode as we chat about learning American Sign Language later in life, Jeremy’s dreams of becoming an interpreter, and the day to day life of an adult with Down syndrome.. the future is bright.
