This week, World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) was celebrated globally on the 21st day of the third month, signifying the “uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome“.

Writer Kat Abianac, who has a son with Down syndrome, shares some ways you can connect with Down syndrome children and their parents without relying on social media platforms.
