JUST LIKE YOU-DOWN SYNDROME explores the life, hopes, challenges and dreams of three teenagers living with Down syndrome.Elyssa, Rachel and Sam share personal stories to help viewers better understand
their condition and they wish to be treated just like you. Each of the stars has their own talents, characteristics, strengths and challenges. Down syndrome is just onepart of who they are and this film identifies how to handle and accommodate differenceswhile celebrating the many similarities our friends with Down syndrome have with their peers.

Kids are naturally curious and the special needs of peers with Down syndrome can raise a lot of questions. when questions are left unanswered it can lead to fear of the unknown, which may cause peers to lash out, ostracize or judge their classmates with Down syndrome.

The film's primary goal is to open hearts and change perspectives because, "when you have the knowledge you understand, and when you understand you can accept that kids with Down syndrome just want to be treated like any other kid, just like you.

The DSCNWA encourages you to invite you family, friends, teachers and medical professionals to come meet Rachel.

Please RSVP online here.
