MINNEAPOLIS — Liam Chau is a popular kid at Stillwater High School. A senior with a permanent smile, Chau rarely makes it an hour without students waving, stopping to say hi and chatting. Jill, Liam’s mom, said a simple trip to Target can take more than an hour because of Liam’s lofty standing within the community.

It wasn’t always like this for Liam, who is naturally outgoing. The fist bumps, the hugs and interactions with other students weren’t as overt.

Over the years, his network of friends grew. It came via the Unified Sports program at Stillwater, a Special Olympics program that supports teams composed of students with and without intellectual disabilities.

Liam has Down syndrome.
