Each October, Casmir Care Services joins families, advocates, and communities across the country in recognizing Down Syndrome Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the unique abilities, strengths, and contributions of individuals with Down syndrome.
At Casmir Care, our mission is to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in living enriched, independent, and meaningful lives within their communities. This month, we’re proud to honor individuals with Down syndrome who inspire us every day with their determination, creativity, and joy.
Down syndrome occurs when a person has an extra copy of chromosome 21. This extra chromosome may influence physical development and learning styles, but it doesn’t define the fullness of a person’s identity or potential. Every individual with Down syndrome has their own talents, interests, and dreams and, with the right supports, can thrive at home, at work, and in their communities.
At Casmir Care, we see each person for who they are, not just their diagnosis. Our Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) work alongside individuals to build confidence, encourage independence, and help each person reach their personal goals.
Down Syndrome Awareness Month is also about education and advocacy. It’s a reminder that inclusion matters in schools, workplaces, and community spaces. When people with Down syndrome are included and supported, everyone benefits.
At Casmir Care Services, we believe in celebrating every individual’s potential. Our team provides compassionate, person-centered care designed to help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities live enriched, empowered lives.
This month and every month, we’re proud to stand alongside individuals with Down syndrome recognizing their worth, amplifying their voices, and celebrating their incredible impact in our communities.
