October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month.​
This year, we're asking the world for one thing: See the Person, Not the Label.​
Too often, an individual with Down syndrome is seen first for their diagnosis and their potential shortfalls — rather than the value they bring to the world.​
​We need the world to see that individuals with Down syndrome have lives. Interests. Personalities. Careers. Loved ones.​
​They're people.​
​And the world needs to see that first.​
​See the Person, Not the Label is about showing the realities of who we are as people — our passions, our interests, our personalities, our quirks, our beauties, and our flaws.​
​All month long, we're sharing who our people really are.​
​People.​
​Now we want to see who you are.​
​Whether you're sharing about yourself, your kid, your sibling, or your best friend. Post a photo, a story, a moment that shows the person. Tag us and use . We'll be resharing all month long.​
