“Receiving a prenatal diagnosis can be overwhelming for families, leaving them wondering what life is like for people living with the condition. ‘Understanding a Down Syndrome Diagnosis’ is often described as a lifeline for families learning about a diagnosis, and I believe, as did my mother, that expectant parents need that support and information right away.”
“When expectant parents across the country receive a prenatal diagnosis, they consistently deserve to receive accurate and up-to-date information about the condition. Finally, we have that information through the booklets created by Lettercase. I hope that all expectant parents with a prenatal diagnosis receive this information.”
Our organization completed the the medical outreach training 5 years ago. The resources, tips and ideas that were shared at the training have helped our program get to where it is today. Our efforts continually grow as a result of being involved with the National Center. All of the materials are the most current and up-to-date which make it easier to get in the door with targeted medical professionals. Even after the initial training, support is ongoing.
Happy New Year from all of us at Lettercase! We are looking forward to another year of developing and translating resources, carrying out new and exciting research, and providing training to providers and advocacy leaders. Read more…
