Fact about Down syndrome ...

It is impossible, either prior to birth or early in life, to determine any person's future strengths or weaknesses. Individuals with Down syndrome are lifelong learners and acquire new skills and talents when offered a variety of life experiences and opportunities. Just like their peers, they attend school, develop friendships, maintain jobs, participate in important personal decisions and make positive contributions to the community. People with Down syndrome are more like their peers than they are different and they deserve the same opportunities.
