Resources - Down Syndrome

These are a few sites that I've used for information since having Lilly. Some of them are local to us (Lebanon County, PA) but they still have useful info for everyone. I will update as we go along!

I am all for inclusion, and this is one of many articles that explain why it's good for our kiddos with DS.

A family member on Andrew's side (Lilly's dad) is very active in this group. If you're in the area, they will mail you a ton of books and info on what to expect with DS and things you can do at home to help your child on top of the therapy they will receive.

This is a list of Early Intervention Programs for infants/toddlers with disabilities in the US. Lillian receives her physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy through Early Intervention. Her caseworker is also very helpful in letting us know about events in our area that they sponsor. If your child has a diagnosis of DS, they automatically qualify for their services for free. If your child has other disabilities, they will do an evaluation to let you know if they qualify for services.
