Today is Small Business Saturday! The National Down Syndrome Society website has a list of businesses run by individuals with Down syndrome. The list can be found here . If you plan to shop today, consider supporting one of the small businesses on the list! Whether you own a business or work for a business, being employed has many benefits including boosting self-esteem, encouraging social interaction, and promoting independence, among others. These benefits can contribute to having good health overall. 

Information about health promotion for people with Down syndrome can be found in the resources in our online library linked here.
