Tue Mar 21st

World Down Syndrome Day

On March 21st, Down Syndrome and their advocates will have a voice and a chance to be understood. It's a day when we meet and plan activities to raise public awareness of the genetic disorder. The aim is to educate others on the importance of helping our friends and family members who have directly and indirectly lived with Down syndrome.

Down syndrome is a naturally occurring chromosomal disorder that has always been a part of the human race... It is widespread throughout the world and has a large influence on learning styles, physical appearance, and overall wellbeing. In order to ensure proper growth and development, social learning services are available and integrated with those with Down syndrome in order to ensure proper growth and development.

They are getting more popular every year, and they influence government policy, becoming more influential. People with Down syndrome can advocate for themselves and be integrated in their cultures through international events.
