Natural disasters impact everyone, but they hit those with special needs particularly hard, disrupting their routines and making it challenging to regulate their emotions and behaviors. In these moments, they need more than just help; they need understanding and support to find their way through the chaos.
That’s where Down Turkiye steps in, extending a helping hand to children with Down syndrome and their families since the very onset of the earthquake. Their mission is to ensure every child with Down syndrome feels supported, valued, and happy — not just a statement, but a heartfelt commitment. Through initiatives like special education classrooms in containers filled with activities and learning, as well as psychosocial support and therapies, Down Turkiye is not just providing care but instilling hope in the hearts of those most in need.
As we approach World Down Syndrome Day on March 21st, let us stand in solidarity with @downturkiye . Let’s not just stand, but walk with them, wearing mismatched socks as a symbol of our unity and unwavering support. Let’s paint the world with the vibrant colors of acceptance, inclusion, and love. #rengimizbelliolsun ❤️🩷🧡💛💚🩵💙💜
