Celebrate World Down Syndrome Day

Written By DSAA

Every year we are presented with an opportunity to shout the worth of our loved ones with Down syndrome on March 21st, World Down Syndrome Day. Some years we have a game plan for the day, other years we don’t and are left scrolling through social media to see everyone else’s celebrations. For some it can feel like a lot of pressure to say the right thing, share the best book, and create a fun activity for your school, classroom or workplace.

Whichever category you fall into, we’ve got you covered from here on out! We have started a running list of books you can read or share with your child’s school. Make it a fun day to recognize the uniqueness of your child and don't forget to ROCK YOUR SOCKS!!! Use this template to create your own customized flyer to bring awareness to your community. Be sure to first make a copy, then edit the file!
