What happens when assumptions limit people with Down Syndrome? A new awareness ad challenges these misconceptions. The ad emphasizes that our treatment of individuals with Down Syndrome can either break down these false limits or reinforce them. It questions assumptions about their abilities, such as drinking alcohol or achieving various milestones. The ad encourages a shift in mindset, urging people to assume that individuals with Down Syndrome can excel and accomplish great things. This powerful message was released in honor of World Down Syndrome Awareness Day. It aims to dispel stereotypes and celebrate the unique contributions of individuals with Down Syndrome.
