Parenting a Child with a Disability

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 identify important milestones including, but not limited to, rebuilding dreams after diagnosis, developmental milestones through early intervention, preparing for school, cultivating healthy sibling relationships, promoting community and school inclusion, and preparing for employment.
