Please Invite Them To Your Party: What Down Syndrome Has Taught Me About Parenting

According to data collated by Down syndrome Australia, approximately 1 in 1108 babies born in Australia has Down syndrome. Producer Elise Cooper has a cousin with Down syndrome, but she's never asked much about his story. She speaks to her aunt Maree Barnes about her mothering journey, what she wants parents and carers everywhere to know and what she would tell herself 19 years ago in the delivery room when she discovered for the first time that she had a child with Down syndrome.Find out more about Down syndrome Australia: https://www.downsyndrome.org.au/Find a development educator who can speak about navigating the NDIS: http://www.deai.com.au/developmental-educators-and-the-national-disability-insurance-schemeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
