World Down Syndrome Day-March 21st
March 21st has been designated by Down Syndrome International as the day to bring awareness to individuals effected by the condition known as Down Syndrome. Dr. Langdon Down originally identified Down Syndrome as he noticed similar characteristics among many patients. Later, Professor Jerome Lejeune identified the cause of Down Syndrome as an extra 21st chromosome. Most individuals have 46 chromosomes in each cell, or 23 pair. Individuals with Down Syndrome have 47 with an extra or 3rd chromosome existing in the 21st pair. Therefore, the condition is also known as trisomy 21 and the date to celebrate world Down Syndrome awareness was chosen to reflect this trisomy (3/21). There are many ways to celebrate world Down Syndrome awareness day by educating, raising funds and advocating for those with Down Syndrome. Some ideas for celebrating are listed below.

Buddy Play
Buddy Play promotes natural interaction and learning between kids with special needs and their typical peers. Seeing the need for more social, inclusion opportunities for kids with special needs and their typically developing peers, Bernadette Fatehi started Buddy Play in 2007.
It is natural for children to learn from each other. Younger siblings have always aspired to do and be like their older brothers or sisters. Likewise, when any child is with a group of peers, he or she will have an opportunity to mimic or practice behaviors and skills that they will use throughout life. It is my opinion that any time children with special needs and “typical” children come together as one group, both sides can learn a great deal from each other! ~Bernadette Fatehi
