I am always on the lookout for a good piece of news, especially when it comes to Down syndrome.
As many of you know, Down Wit Dat has it's own page on Facebook. On there I post things from all over the world that I think would be of interest in regards to Down syndrome. Generally it is something that I think others might like to dialogue about... In any event, I post a lot of links.
The other day, in typical Sean fashion, he casually mentions to me that "you post a lot of links" on the FB page and that I should be posting them here as well. Ok, we'll give him credit for being right twice this year (the first was starting this blog in the first place). After some careful thought, I've decided to do a monthly wrap up and feature all the stories that I have posted. Welcome to "In the News", the first of these installments.
These are in order from newest to oldest (according to when I posted them).
