Every March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day, a day to recognize the many contributions of people living with Down Syndrome and to address the barriers they face in life, love and work.
“This year on World Down Syndrome Day, we are asking supporters around the world to call for an end to stereotypes! People with Down syndrome and intellectual disabilities encounter stereotypes every day. This can lead to people with disabilities being underestimated, excluded, treated poorly, and even abused. Join us in creating a single, global voice during March by sharing the #EndTheStereotypes message and showing the world that everyone is different and has something unique to contribute.
Our negative assumptions about people with Down syndrome can lead us to treat them in such a way that these assumptions become reality. In sociology, this is called a ‘self-fulfilling prophecy.’ Why not reverse our perspectives? If we have positive assumptions about people with Down syndrome, they will have opportunities at school, at work, in relationships, and other activities. And maybe these positive assumptions will become reality. CDSS is proud to be part of this international call to End The Stereotypes.” Source
