On February 24, the DSAL Youth Advocacy Group was invited to make a presentation at West Ashley and Mt. Pleasant
Barnes and Noble stores. During the two simultaneous awareness events, our self advocates shared about themselves
and explained that Down syndrome was just one part of who they are. The events were sensational, and special thanks
to our host, Barnes and Noble, and all those DSAL members that made the events possible. (more) |

What is Down Syndrome? |
|
Down syndrome is a chromosome disorder which usually causes a delay in physical, intellectual and language development. The degree to which each individual is affected varies widely. The exact causes of Down syndrome are currently unknown, and although there are prenatal tests that can detect Down syndrome, there is at this time no method for prevention and no cure. |
