New parents
Congratulations on your new baby! Right now there may be a lot of emphasis on how your baby may be different and possible medical issues he or she may face but the most important thing to remember is that your baby is a baby first. You will begin to learn that children with Down syndrome are more alike than different from other children.

“CDSPG made us feel so welcomed with the gift box we received after Nora’s birth. Her favorite book came from that box. Every time I see her looking at that book I’m reminded of the great support we will always have.”
