To Be
like Amanda

Amanda
I like advocating for people with IDD.
Amanda

Amanda came to Dallas from Houston, Texas.  She has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), and Cerebral Palsy.  When Amanda was five months old, her neurologist told her parents that she wouldn’t be able to walk or talk.  Amanda loves telling people that she has proven him wrong! She feels that working at To Be Like Me is making her a better leader.  Amanda enjoys taking classes at Daymark, singing, traveling, and hanging out with her friends.
