Hi my name is janice and i have a daughter with down syndrome she just turned a year old i was reading the message boards about the birth to 3 program and believe it or not i've been with the since my daughter was 3months old and they have yet to place me in a support group they say theres just none around me my husband i sometimes feel very alone with everything because no one else we know has had a child with down syndrome and when i seen your message boards and everyone asking and answering questions i wish i would have found this site a year ago its been hard and its been amazing just know one else knows exactly what were going though i would love to talk to parents and get advice and be informed on what to do next because my daughters pediatricain has never cared for a child with ds and sometimes i feel like if i don't read up and check things out myself i could miss something or i have missed something and we don't know about it i really need help i live in a very small town so its really limited to what is provided to me. Please ask me anything or give me advice. i want to talk to the experts the parents..thank you
