Down Syndrome Association resources for new parents
Plain-language diagnosis, health and peer-connection information for new families.
What this resource offers
The association’s resources page includes a New Parents section on diagnosis after birth, health information and early intervention. It says families can be connected with other parents, alongside access to the association’s early-intervention team. Use it as community and practical information after a new diagnosis, alongside clinical advice. Start by contacting the association and confirm the currently available peer or caregiver support.
