๐๐ Happy Down Syndrome Awareness Month!
Day 22 of Down Syndrome Awareness Month, and weโre dedicated to celebrating individuals with Down syndrome, spreading awareness, breaking down barriers, and promoting inclusion.
Down syndrome is not something to fear or something that limits a personโs potential. It is simply one part of who someone is. Our friends with Down syndrome have dreams, talents, personalities, goals, and so much to contribute to our families and communities.
This month, we celebrate every milestone, every accomplishment, every friendship, and every individual who makes our world a little brighter.
Letโs use this month to:
๐ Learn something new
๐ Challenge stereotypes
๐ Choose inclusion
๐ Celebrate abilities
๐ Advocate for opportunities
๐ Listen to and amplify the voices of people with Down syndrome
At F.R.I.E.N.D.S., we believe that inclusion isn't just about being invited to the table, itโs about making sure everyone has a place at the table.
Join us throughout October as we celebrate our incredible FRIENDS and show the world that there is so much more to see beyond the diagnosis.
