SUMMARY: World Down Syndrome Day is on March 21st, and John Tutor from the Northeast Mississippi Down Syndrome Society is live to discuss it. Down syndrome is caused by an extra chromosome 21, observed globally since 2012. They are advocating for a change in state laws to use the term “intellectual disabilities” instead of “mentally disabled.” Their World Down Syndrome Day event is on March 23rd at a skating rink. They want to promote inclusivity and raise funds for scholarships and awareness. Join them in celebrating and supporting people with Down syndrome.

World Down Syndrome Day is next week and one local chapter is raising awareness.
