BLOG October is National Down Syndrome Awareness Month

Supporting Individuals with Down Syndrome in Arizona

Arion Care | October 2024

October is a special time to celebrate and support the Down syndrome community! Since the 1980s, October has been recognized as National Down Syndrome Awareness Month (DSAM), a month dedicated to raising awareness, promoting inclusion, and celebrating the achievements of individuals with Down syndrome. This month serves as an opportunity to break down barriers and foster advocacy for those with Down syndrome, while highlighting their abilities and contributions. During DSAM, we come together to share stories, spread awareness, and encourage positive change.

At Arion Care Solutions, we are committed to supporting children and adults with Down syndrome through our DD Support Services. We specialize in providing caregiving solutions for individuals with developmental disabilities, ensuring they receive the personalized care they need. From habilitation to respite services, we offer a wide range of resources that help our clients thrive and live their best lives across Arizona. Our team is dedicated to empowering individuals by promoting independence, growth, and well-being.

According to the CDC, developmental disabilities, including Down syndrome, are conditions that impact physical, learning, language, or behavior areas. Approximately one in six children in the U.S. have a developmental disability or delay. As caregivers, we understand the importance of providing individualized care that addresses these unique needs. At Arion Care, we are passionate about helping our clients reach their full potential by providing support that is tailored to their goals and aspirations.

This October, join us in raising awareness for Down syndrome and promoting advocacy for individuals with developmental disabilities. At Arion Care, we remain dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those we serve, and we invite you to learn more about how our services can support your family.
