At People On The Go Maryland, we believe that every person deserves respect, opportunity, and a voice. Join us as we highlight stories, advocate for equity, and uplift the voices of individuals with Down syndrome and their families.
🌟October is National Down Syndrome Awareness Month!🌟
This month, we celebrate the strength, talent, and contributions of people with Down syndrome. It's a time to raise awareness, challenge stereotypes, and promote diversity in every part of our communities.
Please join us in congratulating them and cheering them on as they build skills to influence policy and create positive change for people with IDD across Maryland.💪🏾💬
Both Rosanna and Treve are proud POG/AOG members, and we can’t wait to see the leadership, passion, and advocacy they’ll bring to this statewide program.
Yet too often, LGBTQ+ people with developmental disabilities face double discrimination and are left out of important conversations about identity, rights, and inclusion.
This month, we celebrate the intersectional identities of those who are both LGBTQ+ and developmentally disabled.
Together, we can make sure that every person has the tools to take control of their health. Let’s break down barriers to care and keep fighting for inclusive healthcare for all.
🌟Share accessible information about breast cancer screenings. 🌟Help spread awareness in your community, ensuring everyone has access to the resources they need. 🌟Support individuals in speaking up about their health needs, in whatever way they communicate.
That’s why we’re committed to making sure that everyone, no matter their ability, knows the signs, gets the care they deserve, and feels empowered to advocate for their own health.
Breast cancer doesn't discriminate, and neither should the way we talk about it. For people with developmental disabilities, awareness and early detection can be life-saving—but sometimes, the message isn’t clear, or accessible.
At People On The Go Maryland, we stand with all individuals, including those with developmental disabilities, in the fight against breast cancer. Everyone deserves access to the knowledge, resources, and support they need to stay healthy and informed.
At People On The Go Maryland, we celebrate the voices of Hispanic individuals with developmental disabilities and their families who continue to lead, advocate, and inspire. 💪🏽💬
🧡 Too often, the experiences of disabled people within Hispanic communities are overlooked.
Let's stand (or sit!) together to promote facts, advocate for resources, and keep misinformation from rolling back the progress we’ve made in supporting the neurodivergent community.
It’s important to base our health decisions on well-researched, peer-reviewed evidence and discussions with our healthcare providers—not misleading claims that create panic. Medical information should be nonpartisan.
🔹The medical community continues to study the many possible ways that autism happens, including genetic and environmental factors. 🔹Tylenol is one of the most commonly used over-the-counter pain relievers and is deemed safe when used according to guidelines.
Here’s the truth: 🔹There is no credible scientific evidence to support a direct link between Tylenol and autism. Autism was identified 40 years before Tylenol was ever put on the market.
Recently, there has been an alarming claim circulated by the administration linking the use of Tylenol (acetaminophen) to autism. This kind of misinformation can cause unnecessary fear and confusion for families and individuals already going through the challenges of developmental disabilities.
