Spread the Word to End the Word – March 6th #rword #downsyndrome

by Carrie with Children with 2 comments

Today is Spread the Word to End the Word Awareness Day. I invite you to join me in taking the pledge to stop using the R-word and spreading awareness about people with Down syndrome and all types of special needs accurately and respectfully.

I’d also love to encourage you to check out the Preferred Language guide from the National Down Syndrome Society – there is so much wonderful information – change in the right direction only has to start with one person.

For more information on this PSA and the R-word movement, please visit the “Not Acceptable” campaign website.

 

What do you think of this campaign?  I’d love to hear your feedback!

** I received no compensation for this campaign.  I’m simply sharing this because it’s a cause I strongly believe in.  Thoughts and opinions here are 100% my own.  **

    I took the pledge last year as well as this year. I love this campaign! As someone in the generation that used this word I promise to take a stand and help end the use of this word starting with my two girls.
