In a world where stereotypes too often overshadow reality, it’s time to shine a spotlight on the remarkable attributes of individuals with Down syndrome. They are not defined by their condition but by their incredible resilience, boundless positivity, and unwavering strength. Let’s challenge the misconceptions and celebrate the true essence of those with Down syndrome, whose presence in our lives enriches us beyond measure.
In partnership with Timeless Images, which took some fantastic photographs of our young people, we’ve crafted a video spotlighting the remarkable young individuals we support for World Down Syndrome Awareness Day.
