There is Nothing Kate Can’t Do

August 21, 2018 Friendship, Profiles

Through Kate’s story, we see what meaningful inclusion looks like from an early age. She is fully embraced as part of Ponaganset High School, a Special Olympics Unified Champion School. She also has developed lasting friendships like with her best friend Emily. You also see Kate shine through her passion for photography.

#UnifiedGeneration Review

“Born with Down Syndrome, bubbly, courageous, creative—Kate Decotis has made extreme leaps and bounds from creating Kate and Co, selling bark at Ponaganset High School in Rhode Island to playing Unified basketball. Kate has made a positive impact on her friends, teammates, teacher, and very supportive family. The connection with Kate and her best friend Emily, pulled on my heartstrings and made me thankful for the unconditional support from my own best friend, Cheyenne.” — Britney Bautista, 2018 U.S. Youth Ambassador (Hawaii)
