We are so proud to join CoorDown and other Down syndrome organizations for this special World Down Syndrome Day campaign starring GLOBAL Quincy Jones Exceptional Advocacy Awardee Madison Tevlin!
Our negative assumptions about people with Down syndrome can lead us to treat them in such a way that these assumptions become reality. In sociology, this is called a ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’. Why not reverse our perspectives? If we have positive assumptions about people with Down syndrome, we'll give them more opportunities in their schools, workplaces, relationships and activities. And maybe these positive assumptions will become reality.
