Top Ten Miscellaneous...a.k.a. Top Ten Pinterest Boards!

This week I will be featuring my Top Ten Pinterest Boards! Pinterest is definitely a new craze that many people look to for suggestions, resources, and fun pictures to brighten up your day. These ten boards fall nothing short of just that while talking about Down syndrome. I have definitely added them to my boards to follow and I encourage you to do so as well. I hope you enjoy!

4 out of 5 stars! This pinterest board is made by parent who has a daughter named Pip. She has amazing posts about her daughter, other blogs, articles and videos that are fun to watch and read about. I love the smiling faces on her pinterest board. There is a true love for her child and love for individuals with Down syndrome.

5 out of 5 stars! This has to be one of my favorite pinterest boards! The work of D. Park Photography works to make others understand the myths, truths and inspiring stories of individuals with Down syndrome. As “Be Inspired” seems to be one of the taglines, it is a true testament as to how this photographer looks at the beauty and strength of individuals with Down syndrome.

3.5 out of 5 stars! This pinterest board is by Downs Side Up. I like this pinterest board because it is informative in connecting pinners to different blogs that discuss Down syndrome, but I also find it a bit misleading because I don’t think all the pins actually led to specific blogs.  The board shows a variety of topics and is informative which makes it helpful to pinners who are looking for information about Down syndrome.  

5 out of 5 stars! What a nice board by SOS Inc., Resources. This pinterest board focuses specifically on resources for professionals in occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech language pathology.  I love the different creative suggestions that the board provides. Professionals in these different fields can gain great ideas to use in practice.

4.5 out of 5 stars! This is truly a special board! This board showcases pictures and more outwardly the love that a mother has for her child with Down syndrome. The tagline of the board is “Keeping one’s faith when your child has a diagnosis of Down syndrome” showing how this particular woman has decided to look at her child’s genetic disorder as a blessing and not a burdern. The love is vibrant on this board!

4 out of 5 stars! This board contains many great quotes which is always my favorite part of pinterest. I will be honest the board caught my eye with the quote by Becky from the hit television series Glee stating, “I got sick dance moves, my mom says I have “Get down syndrome”.  The board has many awesome quotes and nifty ideas that could be beneficial when communicating with someone with Down syndrome. 

3.5 out of 5 stars! This is a cool board because there seems a lot of information pertaining to individuals with Down syndrome. I especially thought the video of the dancers with Down syndrome doing a routine to Pharell Williams’ song Happy was extremely heart-warming. Because this board contains information about other disabilities, which isn’t bad, my rating was lowered. 

4 out of 5 stars! This board titled Down Syndrome Support by Spectrum Speech feeding is a bit misleading as it seems like the board would be about autism due to the pinner’s name. The board however contains information about feeding issues and other sources of support for individuals with Down syndrome.  One part of this board I am going to look further into is the 21 Children’s Books to Celebrate World Down Syndrome Day. 

 

5 out of 5 stars! I absolutely LOVE this pinterest board. This pinterest board is unique in that the pinner put up pictures of children who are extremely happy and or show a unique personality. The pinner in the caption of each picture calls each child by their name and describes how they are feeling or what message they’d like to send out to the viewers of that picture. It is so evident how happy each of these children are!

4.5 out of 5 stars! This pinterest board by Pedia Staff shares great stories! I especially like how they are all very positive stories that shed a bright light on the accomplishments of people with Down syndrome.  It’s wonderful that there is one central location where you can find so many stories focusing on what these people do not what they have to overcome.
