October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month, which means it’s an excellent time to educate others on inclusion and advocacy.

As explained by the NDSS (National Down Syndrome Society):

“Down syndrome is the most commonly occurring chromosomal condition and is caused by a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21. People with Down syndrome are living longer, happier and healthier lives than ever before; they are attending school, working and contributing to society in many wonderful ways.”
