This presentation has been created by Down syndrome UK, registered charity number 1184564. We are making it available for general use but would ask that if a school has a member(s) who has/have Down syndrome, or there are close relatives of a young person with Down syndrome, that you seek permission of the parents/carers first. We would welcome your feedback: admin@downsyndromeuk.co.uk We created the initiative Dress Up For Downs to encourage parents and staff to dress up and celebrate World Down syndrome day! Do please share your images #DU4D #WDSD2020 We hope you find this presentation informative and insightful. There is an accompanying lesson plan.

Just like you

They say that I have extra needs, and while that’s partly true, the needs that matter most to me are the same ones you have too. I need to be accepted. I need friends that make me smile. I need a chance to learn and grow, feeling valued all the while. Sure, I need some extra help and just like you, some things I can’t do but I hope you’ll see beyond all that INSIDE I AM JUST LIKE YOU…..

Activ ivity - Di Dictogloss

Did you know that your body is made up of billions of cells, which are too small to see without a strong microscope? Inside most of those cells are chromosomes, which are thread- like strands. These carry the plan which tells our bodies how to grow. Chromosomes come in pairs - we get half from our mum, half from our dad. People without Down Syndrome have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). Down syndrome is caused by an extra chromosome in your cells – there is a 3rd copy on 21st chromosome. So people with Down syndrome have 47 chromosomes. Having the extra chromosome 21 makes the growing plan work differently to other people. Sometimes people with Down syndrome learn in a different way and their bodies sometimes work differently too. People with Down syndrome are different from you in some ways, but are like you in many ways too. People with Down syndrome are good at some things and have to work really hard at others. They can play, dance, learn, be in a relationship, get a job and live on their own - just like you.
