“Jesse Ridgway has highlighted a painful truth: society does not value the life of a child with Down syndrome as equally as the life of a child without
Down syndrome.”

[Down Syndrome Podcast @IfWeKnewThenPOD]

Pull out your child's IEP & look for any of these phrases:

"When appropriate”
“Best of our ability"
“As needed”
“If available"

If you found even ONE, our new episode was made specifically for YOU. We break down what these phrases really mean & exactly how to get them removed.

[Down Syndrome Podcast @IfWeKnewThenPOD]

A honest discussion about the kinds of advice parents often receive in those early moments of diagnosis. Well-meaning, perhaps, but not always aligned with the lived experiences of families raising children with Down syndrome.

[Down Syndrome Podcast @IfWeKnewThenPOD]

As parents we were told the old trope “Grieve The Child You Didn’t Have”, but telling parents to mourn a child who is alive and lying in a bassinet right next to them sets up a barrier to bonding and pathologizes the baby's existence from day one.
