Kennedy Foundation Trustee

“Receiving a prenatal diagnosis can be overwhelming for families, leaving them wondering what life is like for people living with the condition. ‘Understanding a Down Syndrome Diagnosis’ is often described as a lifeline for families learning about a diagnosis, and I believe, as did my mother, that expectant parents need that support and information right away.”

Brian Skotko, MD

Massachusetts General Hospital, Down syndrome Clinic Director

“When expectant parents across the country receive a prenatal diagnosis, they consistently deserve to receive accurate and up-to-date information about the condition. Finally, we have that information through the booklets created by Lettercase. I hope that all expectant parents with a prenatal diagnosis receive this information.”

Kim Baich

New Parent Director, Down syndrome Association of Central Ohio

Our organization completed the the medical outreach training 5 years ago. The resources, tips and ideas that were shared at the training have helped our program get to where it is today. Our efforts continually grow as a result of being involved with the National Center. All of the materials are the most current and up-to-date which make it easier to get in the door with targeted medical professionals. Even after the initial training, support is ongoing.
