💙💛Oct is DSAwareness Month💙💛 #AreYouAware of Person-1st language? It is important when talking about a person w DS to put them 1st, then the diagnosis. For ex, you would say “She has an adorable baby with Down syndrome” rather than saying “She has an adorable Down’s baby”

I have a young lady who works in my shop. She is treated the same as everyone else (lots of laughter & fun) & is part of a team of people with a variety of backgrounds & ages. She loves working. Everyone has something to offer no matter what their ability.

Reintegrating children with disability into family based care is urgent, complex and the right thing to do. Remember that “Every child has a right to live in a family”. That’s how we will be more inclusive #TMM @unicefrw, @RwandaGender, @UweraKanyamanza
