World Down Syndrome Day 2020

​Happy World Down Syndrome Day 2020 everyone.!!! I can certainly say that we are not celebrating the way we had expected but I am sure that we are all doing what we can, in our own way.
 
Under today’s circumstances, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this day than to officially launch Sevi’s Smile online services, as a way to support people with Down syndrome and other learning challenges, their parents and caregivers and, even in these uncertain times, their educators. 
 
I have been absolutely blessed and humbled by the response we have received on our soft launch, and cannot wait to connect with you as we take our support out into the world in a more public way.
 
Today- Sevi had been planning to speak at a local conference for families of children with various disabilities.  As we reflected on the opportunity that was before us we could not think of a more perfect way to celebrate WDSD2020. 
 
The reality is that our plans are not possible.  So much of what we face today is overwhelming and out of our control, but we are not swayed.  We are still taking the message of positivity and possibility out into the virtual world- and we hope you will join us.
 
In the meantime- let us know how you are celebrating WDSD2020.  We are using this time to make connections and reaching out to people we have not spoken to in too long and not letting another minute pass. 
 
Sending virtual hugs and encouragement to you all.
