Our August cover features Sophia, 6, and her big sister Olivia, who are fierce advocates for inclusion.
Sophia is a book lover, a dancer, and a budding pianist who is happiest anywhere near a pool. She is living with Kleefstra syndrome, and every new word, step, and milestone is hard-won.

Read her story and see how her family is working to provide better answers for families in the Kleefstra syndrome community.
