Down syndrome

More Alike than Different

We Are More Alike

Than Different!

Down syndrome (<--click on for textbook information on the syndrome that is named after Dr John Langdon Down.)   

Now for information that is not found in textbooks...

DS (Definitely Spectacular), is a better description of people with Down syndrome! The extra chromosome creates some differences, but those spectacular differences enrich ALL our lives. Traits such as empathy and kindness, friendship and trust, are some of the most beautiful traits Katie shared with those she knew. 

Katie loved life!

Do not define me by my gender, my race, my political affiliation, my medical or genetic condition. 

Define me as the individual person that I am.  

The poster below (Characteristics of Down Syndrome) could also be titled "Characteristics of My Child." Truley we are more alike than different!
