  H.R. No. 570
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, World Down Syndrome Day is being held at the State
  Capitol on March 21, 2023, with the theme of "With Us Not For Us";
  and
         WHEREAS, Down syndrome, the most commonly occurring
  chromosomal condition, occurs in individuals who have a full or
  partial extra copy of chromosome 21; one of every 700 babies born in
  the United States each year is born with Down syndrome; and
         WHEREAS, Medical advances have significantly increased the
  life expectancy of people with Down syndrome, which is now
  approaching that of peers without the condition; in addition to the
  advantages of modern medicine, support groups and other resources
  are now available in nearly every community in the United States;
  and
         WHEREAS, When provided with quality education programs, a
  stimulating home environment, good health care, and support from
  family and friends, people with Down syndrome can lead fulfilling
  and productive lives; much progress has been made through the
  vision and hard work of parents, researchers, medical
  professionals, and other advocates, who have helped secure the
  rights of people with Down syndrome to live at home, attend schools,
  access appropriate health care, get married, find work, and
  contribute to society; instead of a charity-based approach, this
  year's theme of "With Us Not For Us" promotes a human rights-based
  approach that emphasizes the right of those with disabilities to be
  treated fairly and have the same opportunities available to others;
  and
         WHEREAS, In 2011, the United Nations General Assembly
  declared March 21 as World Down Syndrome Day; this year, the State
  of Texas is joining with countries around the globe in recognition
  of this special event, and all Texans are encouraged to take part by
  helping to build a culture of greater respect and inclusion for
  those living with Down syndrome; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize March 21, 2023, as World Down Syndrome
  Day at the State Capitol.
