We are a group of friends who have come together because we share the common bond of caring for someone who has Trisomy 21. We are here to share therapy tips, medical issues, laughs, accomplishments and yes, even frustrations. We embrace what Trisomy 21 has brought into our lives. We feel that it has taught us to appreciate the true meaning of life. We count our children as blessings! We will fiercely protect them and fight for their lives to be valued just as all other peoples' are. We share our pictures, our stories and our hearts here not only to provide friendship and support for each other, but also in the hopes that others will open their minds and their hearts to our unique children and, in turn, make a better world for everyone.

Response to I know that you teach your child....

It would vary from state to state. In OH we don't have to do any testing, just an assessment by a teacher before the start of the next school year. As far as I know we don't need to do an IEP unless we are getting services from the school. We are in the process now, but won't be after Veronica turns 6. I think setting goals on your own would be the most benificial way to keep up with things. Good luck. It is very rewarding to spend time with your kids and see them grow and change. I am so grateful to be able to homeschool both my children. Blessings, Christi Wheatley(9) and Veronica(4)
