Every person with Down syndrome is living a life that matters. #developmentaldisability #intellectualdisability #Downsyndrome #disability #disabilityawareness

For a person with a developmental disability, being considered normal is meaningless. Being considered equal is life-changing. #developmentaldisability #intellectualdisability #Downsyndrome #disability #disabilityawareness

The presence of people with Down syndrome enriches our world. #developmentaldisability #intellectualdisability #Downsyndrome #disability #disabilityawareness

When people with developmental disabilities enjoy inclusion, they receive the dignity and respect they deserve. #developmentaldisability #intellectualdisability #Downsyndrome #disability #disabilityawareness

How a person who is nonverbal expresses themselves does not matter. It’s what they want to communicate that is important. #developmentaldisability #intellectualdisability #Downsyndrome #disability #disabilityawareness

People with developmental disabilities have hopes and dreams. And they have the right to pursue them. #developmentaldisability #intellectualdisability #Downsyndrome #disability #disabilityawareness

Having a child with Down syndrome is a lifelong journey filled with understanding, acceptance, and unconditional love. #developmentaldisability #intellectualdisability #Downsyndrome #disability #disabilityawareness

Someone with a developmental disability is not a list of characteristics. They are a person. #developmentaldisability #intellectualdisability #Downsyndrome #disability #disabilityawareness

A developmental disability diagnosis does not define a person’s humanity. #developmentaldisability #intellectualdisability #Downsyndrome #disability #disabilityawareness

Dementia proves that the purest form of unconditional love is when it’s shared with someone who can no longer return it. #dementia #Alzheimer’s #health #disease #disability #disabilityawareness

Accessibility isn’t optional. The decision by the United Nations to cut sign language interpretation for the next disability rights committee session undermines anti-discrimination obligations.

The difference between you and a person with Down syndrome is one chromosome. But the ways you are alike are countless. #developmentaldisability #intellectualdisability #Downsyndrome #disability #disabilityawareness
