Early Childhood: Learn the Signs. Act Early

This lecture focuses on the experiences of parenting a child with Down Syndrome from the moment of diagnosis to the first day on the job as an adult. We cover important milestones like rebuilding dreams after a diagnosis, working toward developmental milestones through early intervention, preparing for the first day at school, cultivating healthy sibling relationships, encouraging community and school inclusion, and preparing for work.
