the face of this commercial,” says Kevin
O’Connell, Senior Vice President of

smiling face, get to know them and make their

Ada Mae Grashow is seven years old with
Phelan McDermid Syndrome (PMS), an
extremely rare genetic disorder. Despite being
nonverbal, Ada’s message is powerful, and
the Grashows want to help others by sharing
her story. “Learning about Ada’s diagnosis
when she was just over age five allowed us
to start understanding the mysteries we
were constantly experiencing. By bringing
awareness to PMS, Ada’s story sparks
empathy and acceptance for individuals with
disabilities. Because PMS is so rare, we hope
to promote earlier diagnosis and help other
families get the proper treatment that their
loved ones with PMS deserve,” says Ada’s
mother, Katie Grashow. The Grashows’
foundation, World of Mae, is dedicated to
empowering Ada as well as the surrounding
community. World of Mae holds an annual
festival uniquely designed to celebrate people
of ALL abilities and disabilities.
