🌍 WOLRD DOWN SYNDROME DAY 🌎
Today 3.21 (signifying the third copy of the twenty-first chromosome) is World Down Syndrome day. And the cute little girl you see in the photos wouldn't be the Kate behind CommuniKate without her brother-- her why. Kate's older brother, who now affectionately goes by Uncle Bud, started it all. From sibling sessions to a strong passion for family engagement, Kate's upbringing with Bud at her side made her the SLP (and practice owner) she is today.
World Down Syndrome day is a day to celebrate the lives of those who have Down syndrome, bring awareness to the cause of Down syndrome (random genetics), advocate for disability rights, fight for inclusion, and challenge the societal stigma Down syndrome carriers.
We are how we treat the most vulnerable of our community. And you will always find Kate and the rest of the CommuniKate team serving and fighting for Uncle Bud, our patients, and their families.
