Awareness, Advocacy & Inclusion

A booklet to help teach kids about Down Syndrome created by Down Syndrome Connection of the Bay Area in partnership with Down Syndrome Association of West Michigan

In 2009, Spread the Word was created to end the R-Word which is the most common phrase used to demean, insult, and discriminate against people with disabilities, and it has an extremely negative effect on social and self-esteem of people it’s used against. Take a stance against this word and help teach others the negative effects.

Parents, advocates, educators, and attorneys come to Wrightslaw for accurate, up-to-date information about advocacy for children with disabilities.
