Words matter! 💙
✅ Say: “individual with Down syndrome.” Capital D, lowercase s, no apostrophe.
❌ Avoid: “Downs kid,” “suffers from," or the r-word—even as a joke.
Hear the wrong words? Correct them kindly.
Be accepting. Be generous. Be kind. Be #GenerationG.
For years, I worried my son would never find community—until GiGi's Virtual Playhouse changed everything. #DownSyndrome#Community@GiGis_Playhouse https://t.co/NFUO2PvdM4
