From National Down Syndrome Society ~ “October is one of our favorite months of the year! Join us in supporting the Down syndrome community during this special month. In the 1980s, NDSS participated in the efforts to have October proclaimed “Down Syndrome Awareness Month,” or “DSAM,” and this designation continues today. It’s a month to raise awareness and celebrate the many abilities of our loved ones with Down syndrome. DSAM seeks to break down barriers and focus on promoting advocacy for people with Down syndrome. NDSS celebrates October in a different way each year and we invite you to get involved and spread the word. Use to post on social media, and don’t forget to tag NDSS so we can share your post!”
