5 recommendations for the global community to improve the lives of people with Down syndrome by addressing stereotypes and misconceptions.

The international community, led by the United Nations, can continue to improve the lives of people with Down syndrome by addressing stereotypes and misconceptions. Here are five recommendations for the global community:

Work with people with Down syndrome and their representative organizations to raise awareness about Down syndrome, in line with Article 8 of CRPD. In particular, there is a need in many countries to raise understanding of the cause of Down syndrome so that families are not faced with discrimination and shame arising from a false belief that they or their ancestors in some way caused the genetic variation.

Adopt best practices in life contexts through the implementation of evidence-informed guidelines, such as Down Syndrome International’s International Guidelines for the Education of Learners with Down Syndrome.

Provide opportunities for people with Down syndrome to take part in projects, advocacy campaigns and events. Down Syndrome International, in collaboration with Inclusion International, has developed guidelines to assist organizations with inclusive participation.

Provide employment opportunities for people with Down syndrome. Employers, from small organizations to large corporations to civil society groups, need to make workplaces accessible and welcoming.

Use easy-to-understand communication options for all information, ensuring accessibility for people with Down syndrome and intellectual disabilities, as well as for people with limited literacy or those who are reading in a different language, in line with General Assembly resolution 77/240, adopted on 16 December 2022.

All people deserve the opportunity to live life to the fullest. For people with Down syndrome to do so, it is past time to dispense with the myths and stereotypes that for too long have led to low expectations and diminished quality of life.

People with Down syndrome want to live autonomous lives full of meaning and purpose.

The institutional era led to a view that people with Down syndrome needed to be cared for. A more pervasive myth is that people with Down syndrome should aspire to an “independent” life. Humans are social beings who thrive when living in interdependent relationships. People with Down syndrome want to have control over their lives: what they eat, what they wear, where they live, with whom they share their lives (including intimate partners) and where they work. They also find fulfilment in being able to help others. This is autonomy, not independence. Imposing a goal of independence, though often sought by people with good intentions, can lead to individuals living lonely lives, or feeling that they have somehow not achieved a mythical status of “adulthood” that is not expected of others in the community at large.

In a recent study completed by DSRP, young adults with Down syndrome told us that they liked being their own person, had high aspirations and a zest for life; they disliked being treated differently from others in the general community and were aware of their limitations. Young adults are indeed living lives of meaning and purpose, though in very different ways, with varying forms of support to enable them to flourish. The global community will have the opportunity to learn from people with Down syndrome at two important events this year: World Down Syndrome Day, being celebrated at United Nations Headquarters in New York (21–22 March 2024); and in Brisbane at the World Down Syndrome Congress (9–12 July 2024).

The stereotypes that persist in the society can lead to low expectations that limit opportunities for quality education; appropriate health care; paid, meaningful employment; and inclusion in all aspects of community life. The United Nations has driven the undeniable advancement of the human rights of individuals with Down syndrome, particularly through the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).

💫🧚‍♀️ We are celebrating World Down Syndrome Day from Neverland ☁️ 🌈 The analogy is perfect: You cannot get to Neverland without a guide like Peter Pan … you are afraid to go with him (or her) into the unknown but once you arrive you are surrounded with so much beauty your fears dissipate as fast as they arrived. When you are in Neverland you are forever young; celebrating and enjoying things that are not “Age appropriate” according to society and happy to do so. There are villians and challenges here that we also must face and overcome every, single day. Somehow we always seem to. The things we once thought important cease to be and you have an entirely new perspective and outlook on the world and all the people in it once you’ve been there. People who have never been to Neverland will never truly understand the complexities, beauty, heartbreak and triumphs that await you there. I feel sorry for them, not for Blake, Amelia or anyone else who is a member of this diverse and rich community. 💫 our wish is the same every year. Please include our kids. Please educate yourselves and be a vessel of education and accurate information for others around you. Help to create a world that is welcoming, compassionate, understanding and willing to make accommodations so we can all have access to our surroundings. All means ALL. No exclusions or exceptions. Remeber: anything is possible with a little faith, trust and pixie dust… ✨💫🧚‍♀️💛💙 #WDSD2023 #WDSD #DownSyndrome #dualdiagnosis #tinkerbell #FaithTrustandPixieDust #worlddownsyndromeday #downsyndromeawareness #inclusionmatters #Inclusion #disabilityawareness #PeterPan @nikivader @disney @disneyparks (at NeverLand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqEJ3HbSaE5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
