#ICYMI , our staff member David will be starring in an upcoming @hallmarkchannel movie! We can't wait to see David & his co-star Lily shine. We are thrilled that Hallmark is showing that individuals with #DownSyndrome can play LEADING roles in film! 👏

Hallmark's new romance movie will be led by an actor with Down syndrome

“Color My World With Love” is set to debut later this year.

NDSS is devastated to learn of the passing of disability rights advocate Judy Heumann. We send love to her family and friends during this time. May her memory be a blessing. (1/2)

Part of NDSS’ mission is to shift public perceptions of the Down syndrome community, and these actors have helped do just that through their roles in film and television. We are so excited to honor them at our annual Gala & Auction in New York City on March 7th! 🌟🎞️
