What is World Down Syndrome Day?

People with Down syndrome and their supporters have a voice and a chance to be understood on World Down Syndrome Day, March 21st. It's a day when we gather and coordinate activities to raise public knowledge of the genetic disorder. The aim is to educate others on the benefits of helping our friends and families 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 major effect 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 safe growth and development.

Every year, their voices grow louder, and they influence government policy, becoming more influential. People with Down syndrome can advocate for themselves and be included in their communities through international events.
