Resources

I have found many books helpful in my quest to gather information about Down Syndrome.  The pictures below will take you to Amazon for each book.  You can gather more information about the books from their site.  The first is a basic book to get you through the first few months of having a baby with DS.

Babies with Down Syndrome; A New Parent's Guide 









 Another book I found very helpful was  Down Syndrome Parenting 101.  I read through this book very quickly.  There is a more emotional aspect to this book that can help you work through your emotions or just see where you are emotionally.




Once you are ready to dive into specifics, there are some great books to help with therapies!
Depending on your needs, you might want to start with a different book.  But, my baby had very weak muscle tone (hypotonia) so I started with Gross Motor Skills in Children with Down Syndrome.



There is a chart in the back for average gross motor milestones in kids with DS.  Very Helpful!

More great resources are the following books:
