'Others cast my son aside, but ballet dancing made him shine'

After her son Archie was born with Down's Syndrome, mum Amanda was told by doctors that he would never manage to keep up with his peers, but Amanda was convinced that his disability wouldn't hold him back.

So, age one and determined to give him every opportunity to develop his potential, she enrolled Archie in baby ballet classes and he's since come on in leaps and bounds.

Amanda joins us alongside Archie's ballet teacher Sonya Morris to talk about why they believe treating Archie the same as every other child is the key to his success.
