Children with Down Syndrome are not limited by their size or intellectual ability”, said Dr. Shivon Belle-Jarvis, MSJMC Pediatric Department Chair.
“They are born to parents of all races and socio-economic backgrounds and have three copies of chromosome 21. This year we highlight the need for all people with Down Syndrome to have equal opportunities. They are unique, creative, loving and extra extra extra special! They benefit from loving homes, early intervention, education, appropriate medical care and positive public attitude. This year we leave no one behind. Happy Down Syndrome Day!”
