NDSS New and Expectant Parent Guide

Our New and Expectant Parent Guide has been updated! For decades, this trusted, comprehensive resource has guided families welcoming a child with Down syndrome. Our updated version includes the latest information to support and empower parents joining our community.

Organizations can purchase bulk orders of the guide by emailing Colleen at chatcher@ndss.org. Your generosity fuels our programs and supports our families. We are grateful to all who contribute to our mission by giving
