I love it!!
I think the best part is that he is put in the ads like any other child. There's no need to single him out, just treat him the same as you would any other child model in an ad layout.

Re: New Target ads feature child model with Downs Syndrome
I love it.
And I wish that there wasn't such a fear of "different" in our society. People with Down Syndrome are PEOPLE. There is always such a fear of something that is different or special needs in general and honestly some of the sweetest and most loving children I've known have Down Syndrome.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this. It's awesome to see

I loved that they did this! And then didn't jump up and down and point to it.

Re: New Target ads feature child model with Downs Syndrome
Thank You for posting this.
This was posted on FB in my Ds group that I belong to.
We were SO HAPPY to see this.
My DD has Down Syndrome and just like the ad, I'm raising her as I would raise a typical child.
I Target and now LOVE them even more!
My DD is an amazing little girl (she will be 3 in May) and I can already tell that NOTHING is going to stop her.

I think someone else uses special needs children in thier ads besides TRU also. Can't remember who though.

I'm also just in love with special needs kids. So great to see them represented. There's a lot of stigma even today, and hopefully this will help to break it!

This is true! I've seen quite a few in the big toy book ads, etc.!
