October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month!
Down Syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21. Around 5,000 babies with Down syndrome are born each year in the U.S., making it the most common chromosomal condition.
This month and every month, we honor the uniqueness, abilities, and achievements of every individual with Down syndrome, promoting a world where opportunities are limitless and acceptance is unconditional.
