Down's Syndrome
Our fab volunteers are still putting this page together, however we have made a start...
What is down's syndrome?
Down’s syndrome is when you’re born with an extra chromosome. You usually get an extra chromosome by chance, because of a change in the sperm or egg before you’re born. People who have Down’s syndrome will have some level of learning disability. This means they’ll have a range of abilities. Some people will be more independent and do things like get a job. Other people might need more regular care.
Like everyone, people who have Down’s syndrome have:
their own personalities
things they like and dislike
things that make them who they are

Love people for who they are, instead of judging them for what they're not.
