Down Syndrome is a disorder that affects some people. People with Down Syndrome and their families need a support system to help them. To raise awareness about the disorder, the United Nations began observing World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) on March 21st. The theme of 2025’s WDSD is ‘Improve Our Support Systems.’ The theme asks for support and care for children with Down Syndrome so they can live independent, happy lives.
