Just Like You – video

This is a fifteen minute video made by three typical kids and their three friends with Trisomy 21.  In it, they share about the common issues to help others understand what Trisomy 21 is, and how it affects their friends.  Though this was geared to be by kids, for kids, it’s suitable for adults as well as kids of all ages.  I think it would be great for parents to watch this with their children so they have an understanding when they see someone with Down syndrome about what to expect – and the message is, we’re all much more similar than we are different.

 

I really enjoyed this video!  Take a few minutes to watch it, and let me know what you think – was this informative?  Did you learn something new, or get a different perspective on Down syndrome?

  1. What a fantastic video. It answers questions that many would be afraid to ask. I am going to show it to my daughter. She is taking a biology class and just learned about chromosomes and about Trisomy 21. This video puts beautiful human faces to a word and I really think it will touch her as it did me.
