How you see Dashiell Meier matters. A storyteller, student, athlete and filmmaker, he is changing how the world views people with Down syndrome/Trisomy 21 and intellectual disabilities by showing how stereotypes affect him. Dashiell is an accomplished speaker, and has presented at the United Nations about health equity, at large-scale corporate inclusion events (Twitter, Spotify, LinkedIn), at multiple national conferences, and has given keynote speeches at events like the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame. He speaks regularly at Stanford and other schools about Down syndrome, accessible design, and health.
