Breaking Down Misconceptions: Independence and Down Syndrome
March 21st marks World Down Syndrome Day, and as we approach this significant date, let's tackle some questions that often linger unasked.
Question: Do individuals with Down Syndrome always live with their parents?
Contrary to common misconceptions, many individuals with Down Syndrome lead independent lives or reside in supported living arrangements. In these settings, they enjoy a sense of autonomy while still having access to necessary support and guidance. This approach not only fosters independence but also empowers them to make choices that contribute to fulfilling lives within their communities.
One shining example is our Co-founder, Ross, who has thrived in a supported living house for nearly a decade. His story reflects the potential for a life filled with purpose, breaking down stereotypes and showcasing the capabilities of individuals with Down Syndrome.
