Today we join with the Down Syndrome community to Spread the Word to End the Word. You can join us too, by clicking here!
I encourage you to support our family by removing the R-Word from your vocabulary. You can take it a step further and join us in our advocacy efforts, as we attempt to educate friends, co-workers and acquaintances when we hear them use the word. There is no need to be offensive- a simple "I'd appreciate if you chose a less offensive adjective like absurd" is all it takes to help raise awareness.
Do it for Porter! Do it for his big sister Penny! Do it for us!
Thank you!
I love this "Buy a Dictionary Poster" by Alison Rowan:
There are so many better words to describe what you're feeling! Go ahead and use a synonym :) Spread the love. Spread the word!
