I was a medical geneticist, a physician specializing in taking care of children with special needs, when my son was diagnosed prenatally with Down syndrome. Despite all my knowledge about Down syndrome, I realized that I didn’t know anything about what it was like to actually parent a child with this condition. Connecting with other families is really what provided me with the tools and resources to support my son and allow him to realize his full potential. I am excited for this program to be able to connect families so they can share their stories and form lasting bonds for themselves and their children.”
