Raising A Child With Down Syndrome

Build A Support System

Whenever a significant medical condition comes into the picture, regardless of who has it, support systems are invaluable for both the patient as well as their family. This can include medical professionals, of course, but getting in touch with other parents of children with Down syndrome can be incredibly helpful in terms of sharing experiences, but also in the sense these parents can have as close of an understanding to this situation as possible. It may not be exact, of course, given every child with Down syndrome is different, but it is as close as it gets. In addition to building a support system for yourself as a parent, many places also offer support for your child both in their developmental years as well as later on in life. Ask your doctor for information and do some research to find out what your city and area offer!
