About Down syndrome

Posted on About Us by Brian Moore · January 30, 2014 12:01 PM

Down syndrome is a genetic condition where an individual has three copies of the 21st chromosome. The effects of this extra DNA differs from individual to individual. Nevertheless, people with Down syndrome share the same hopes and dreams, likes and dislikes as everyone else. They love their families, value their friends, root for the home team, and cope with the challenges of daily living such as managing a budget, living independently and having a job. These individuals and their families want the same opportunities for education, health, relationships, community involvement and careers as everyone else. With advocacy and the right supports, we can help make that happen!
