Our negative assumptions about people with Down syndrome can lead us to treat them in such a way that these assumptions become reality. 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.

With World Down Syndrome Day coming up on Thursday, a friend of my wife posted about the challenges that many of us face when advocating for our children.

Some days, advocating seems hopeless and cumbersome, but my kid is so worth it. I wish society would see the same.

As the dad of a child with Down Syndrome, I love this edgy message from CoorDown as part of their global campaign for World Down Syndrome Day on March 21.

It's a good reminder of the life I'm fighting for for my daughter...

If we have positive assumptions about people with Down syndrome, we'll give them more opportunities. And maybe these positive assumptions will become reality.
