A two-year-old girl named Izzy Bradley is featured in a new Target ad. Izzy has Down syndrome. Target went out of its way to find a child with Down syndrome to feature in its advertisements. Izzy’s mother, who runs an online support group Down Syndrome Diagnosis Network in Minnesota (where Target is headquartered), said, “Whenever she [Izzy] sees the ad, either on television or in print, she smiles, points to herself, and says, ‘Izzy.’”
Izzy’s mother added, “Her photo is also on the wall of our local Target, so she likes that too.”
