Today is #worlddown. Each year, approximately 6,000 babies (1 in 700) are born with #downsyndrome in the United States. It continues to be the most common chromosomal disorder (#trisomy21). It can effect their heart, lungs, have weak immune systems, and delays in learning or motor skills in some people. Children with Down Syndrome automatically qualify for #EarlyIntervention services, including occupational, physical, and speech therapies. They also qualify for #individualeducationplans known as #IEP at school. For more information, go to www.ndss.org. #disabilityawareness #disabilitysupport #disabilityrights #disabilityadvocate
