World Down Syndrome is a special day marked every March 21st to celebrate people with Down syndrome. Down syndrome is a lifelong condition in which a person has an extra chromosome. Chromosomes determine how a baby’s body forms and functions as it grows during the pregnancy and after birth.
Right now, I am so glad that there is so much inclusion in the world. This is exactly what I was hoping for. We have people with Down syndrome that are being recognized!
