Welcome to World Down Syndrome Day WEEK—i.e. the DSADE’s week-long itinerary of events in celebration of World Down Syndrome Day. There are plenty of options across the state to raise awareness for Down syndrome and support the DSADE’s mission to empower families, promote community involvement, and encourage a lifetime of opportunities for people with Down syndrome.
