💙💛 WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY – 21 MARCH 💛💙
Today we celebrate children and young people with Down syndrome — their strengths, personalities, and achievements.
Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21. Every child with Down syndrome is unique, with their own abilities, interests and goals.
👩⚕️ From a physiotherapy perspective, children with Down syndrome may benefit from support with:
• Muscle strength
• Balance and coordination
• Gross motor developmental skills
• Posture and mobility
At Children in Motion, we believe in early support, building confidence, and helping every child reach their full potential.
💙 This year's theme is "Together Against Loneliness" - did you know Children in Motion supports a local charity called F6IT. Please use the link to find out more about F6IT: https://f6it.org
💛 Let’s celebrate inclusion, ability, and community today.
