WHAT IS DOWN SYNDROME? |
|
Down syndrome occurs when an individual has a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21. This additional genetic material alters the course of development and causes the characteristics associated with Down syndrome. A few of the common physical traits of Down syndrome are low muscle tone, small stature, an upward slant to the eyes, and a single deep crease across the center of the palm – although each person with Down syndrome is a unique individual and may possess these characteristics to different degrees, or not at all.

A Day in the Life with Down Syndrome
A Day in the Life with Down Syndrome is a clearing house of blogs related to Down syndrome. It is a website managed by a mother with a child who has down syndrome. She said that the goal is her simple - to celebrate and share those slices of lives that are lived with Down syndrome. There are photos, videos, blog posts and “testimonials” by people with and without Down syndrome. There is also the thread of Moxie, the blogger's daughter who has Down syndrome, and the ongoing blog-pieces of her life.
