Feedback on our websites
"I love this site, I could spend days on it." Parent, USA
"Thirty minutes ago I was a devastated first time father who thought his life
was effectively over. Despite reading some other sources on the internet I was still
left with the impression that the outlook for our son was very poor with only a
very limited chance of him leading anything approaching a typical life and becoming
independent. Having read your "Living with Down syndrome" web page I now
have hope (considerable hope) for the future. I am realistic, he may be one of the
less fortunate categories, but we have a summit to aim for, and from other pages
on your site some idea of the route to that summit. Thank you." Parent, UK
