What's In A Name?
When we were considering starting our company, we knew we had "something special" to offer and had to come up with the perfect name. After much brainstorming, DownRight Special was chosen.
Down is for Dr. Langdon after whom Trisomy 21, or Down syndrome, was named. We combined Down with Right because we know that there really isn't anything wrong with having Down syndrome. The Special is self explanatory; everyone is special, but that tiny extra chromosome, that all persons with Trisomy 21 have, makes them extra special to all those who know and love them.
