Inclusion is at the heart of this celebration. Everyone has something of value to contribute, and everyone has a right to belong. We encourage you to share your stories and unique experiences to help educate others about Down syndrome using the hashtag #DownSyndromeAwarenessMonth. We’d also love to hear about the achievements or contributions that make you proud, whether you’re someone with Down syndrome or a loved one.

Congratulations to the newly announced Ambassadors for the 2024 International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD)! Eight Australians with diverse experiences of disability have been chosen to promote inclusion. Among them are Sean Skeels and Marley Whatarau, best friends who create engaging videos on Instagram and TikTok. Their series, “Get Down with Sean and Marley,” features dance and cooking. They received the TikTok Good Award last year for their positive impact. IDPwD is observed every year on 3 December to raise awareness of disability. Sean and Marley and the other ambassadors will help amplify the voices of people with disability and encourage understanding. Learn more here: buff.ly/2TXsI5R.
