Down Syndrome awareness month

Since October is Down Syndrome awareness month I would like to share a few facts about Down Syndrome..... 1. Down Syndrome occurs when an individual has 3, rather than 2, copies of the 21st chromosome. The additional genetic material alters the course of development and causes the characteristics associated with Down Syndrome. 2. There are more that 400,000 people living with Down Syndrome in the USA. 3. Down Syndrome occurs in people of all races and economic levels.
