World Down Syndrome Day 21 March, 2025 - Theme, Importance & History

World Down Syndrome Day is a global healthcare event observed every year on the 21st of March to raise awareness about the disease and voice in support of friends and family of the person affected by Down Syndrome.

Down syndrome is a medical condition in which a person has an extra chromosome. At birth, a newborn will typically have 46 chromosomes. Having an extra copy of chromosome 21 causes Down syndrome in infants.

World Down Syndrome Day 2025 Theme

This year, 2025, World Down Syndrome Day's theme is "Improve Our Support Systems." The theme is to strengthen inclusive support systems to secure that individuals with Down syndrome receive the care, education, and opportunities they deserve.

Year by Year themes of World Down Syndrome:

World Down Syndrome 2024 Theme: End the Stereotypes

World Down Syndrome 2023 Theme: With Us, Not for Us

World Down Syndrome 2022 Theme: Inclusion Means

World Down Syndrome 2021 Theme: Connect

💛💙 Today is World Down Syndrome Day! A day to celebrate the accomplishments of this beautiful and diverse community. I’ve felt extremely ambivalent this year about “celebrating”. So much progress has been made but a monumental task lay ahead for advocates and parents. I am also exhausted from the contestant challenges that come with caring for a person who has Down Syndrome and Autism. Blake has created the ultimate contrast. Without these challenges and struggles the beauty would cease to be as radiant or appreciated. Blake has changed my life profoundly and has opened my eyes to a world and perspective only some are ever privy to. I don’t know what is to come for us but what I do know today as I acknowledge WDSD: 🚫 How society defines “success” (grades, job titles, income, beauty) is complete BS. 🕰 Blake lives in the moment. He’s naturally gifted with what so many “typical” people work, practice and strive for and may never achieve. 💛 Unconditional love 💙 Unconditional Acceptance of all differences is essential for our society to evolve. We are far from achieving this but I’ll always have hope and work towards this. 🧬 Down Syndrome is not a “mistake”, abnormality or defect to me. I know Blake and his community have been part of the human tapestry of diversity since the beginning of time. ❤️ 🧠 Blake’s biggest gift to this earth has been the ability to effortlessly open hearts and change minds just by being himself. This lesson in unapologetic authenticity should be explored by everyone reading this. 👁 This community should not need to justify, perform, achieve, be more “alike typical people” or make headlines to receive the respect, support access, or meaningful inclusion they deserve. 🥳To those who chose to celebrate Happy WDSD 2021! To those who don’t, I am putting my digital arms around you because I see you and I fully understand. 👭 #DownSyndrome #wdsd #wdsd2021 #dualdiagnosis #parenting #motherhood #motherandson #Diversity #disability #mylife #mytruth #beautifulboy #autism #unconditionallove #specialneedsmom #specialneedsparenting (at Evolution Vintage Style & Creative Headquarters) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMs9v_Lgt1N/?igshid=1s30zdptvl2ks

I’m straying from my usual posts for a minute because

March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day!

My biggest reason for celebrating today is of course impacted by his Down syndrome. It’s probably one of the first things you notice about him. He has had many more therapies and extra doctors appointments than most kids his age. Sometimes he has to do things a little differently. Sometimes they take a little bit longer. It’s okay to notice that some things are different. But it’s so important to remember that these things are just one piece. He is not defined or limited by his Down syndrome. He is a son, a brother, a grandson, a nephew, a cousin, and a friend. He is a little boy who loves rocket ships and Toy Story and popcorn. He is adorable and stubborn all at once and his laugh is super contagious. He is learning to read and is so proud of every accomplishment. He is just who he is supposed to be--strengths, weaknesses, and, yes, Down syndrome. All of these things together make him who he is. And that’s who I want you to see when you look at him--a whole wonderful person, not just a diagnosis.

This will be my sixth year joining in Rock Your Socks to raise awareness for Down syndrome and celebrate someone I love a whole lot. So on 3/21 let your extra attention-grabbing socks show. If you participate, I’d love to see your silly socks!
