October’s Monthly Highlight: Down Syndrome Awareness Month
The CDC states that each year, about 6,000 babies born in the United States have Down syndrome. This means that Down syndrome occurs in about 1 in every 700 babies.
5 Ways to show love and respect to someone with Down Syndrome:
1. Do not assume they do not understand you.
2. Always speak directly to the person, not the person with them.
3. Be kind with your words and body language.
4. Be inclusive.
5. Know that every person with Down syndrome is unique, with their individual personality, strengths and support needs.
