Although people with Down syndrome experience learning difficulties that lead to delays in many areas of development, not all areas are affected equally. If we give opportunities for inclusive living with the commitment to “With Us Not For Us”, Persons with Down syndrome can make a big difference in our society.
On March 21, Manovikas Charitable Society, associated with World Down Syndrome Day 2023, Theme “With Us Not For Us”.
On the occasion of World Down Syndrome Day, the Manovikas Charitable Society, in association with the State Nodal Agency Center (SNAC) of the National Trust for the Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Intellectual Disabilities, and Multiple Disabilities under the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, Govt of India and CBSM (Chandra Bhushan Singh Memorial Speech & Hearing Institute), Dwarka, Delhi are celebrating Mega events where about 500 participants, including persons with disabilities, showcase their abilities.
Creating awareness of communication skills, Basic sign language, Easyread communication for intellectual and developmental disabilities, Career guidance on higher education and skill training after school, Oral hygiene, and Health Care Opportunities to become Self-advocates etc., help persons with Down syndrome lead to inclusive living in the society.

Let’s plan for each child with Down syndrome to go to school and provide visual and auditory accommodations for classroom instruction and physical, occupational, and speech therapies. They may need extra time and assistance with classwork.
Students with Down syndrome have a range of abilities. They can learn and develop new skills throughout their lives but reach goals simultaneously. Remember to focus on the individual and learn firsthand about their capabilities and special needs.
