3/21 is WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY

March 21st of every year is World Down Syndrome Day.  It is celebrated on this day because it is the 21st chromosomal pair that has 3 copies instead of a pair.

There are many ways this is celebrated.  Some people (including my family) wear cool socks with pants rolled up to create awareness and start a conversation.  Some people (including me) post information about Down syndrome on social media.

I'm celebrating today for my daughter, her friends, and the kids on my caseload who have DS.  Come celebrate with me.
