WHAT IS WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY?
World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD), March 21th, is a global awareness day which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012.
WHY MARCH 21ST?
The date for WDSD, the 21st day of the 3rd month, was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome.
HOW WILL YOU CELEBRATE WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY???
This is my buddy with the extra chromosomal. Cool kid Speed!
He came into our lives almost 5 years ago. He was hearing impaired and taught my family and I ASL.
He has since gained some language and loves doing cooking videos.
