This February, NCDA proudly invites everyone to join the nation in celebrating National Down Syndrome Consciousness Month.
Through Presidential Proclamation No. 157, issued on February 18, 2002, February was officially declared National Down Syndrome Consciousness Month—a time to raise awareness, promote inclusion, and honor the unique abilities, voices, and contributions of persons with Down Syndrome.
This month reminds us that understanding leads to acceptance, and acceptance builds a more inclusive society for all.
