Down Syndrome Awareness Month
October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month
Why do we celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month?
October was first designated as Down Syndrome Awareness Month in the 1980s and has been recognized every October since. It is a time to celebrate people with Down syndrome and make others aware of their abilities and accomplishments.
People with Down syndrome are just like everyone else. They have similar dreams and goals, and they want to have successful careers and families. They can drive, go to work, go to college, go on dates, get married, and contribute to society. Click here for full article...
