[quote=Anonymous]Each SN child is unique, just as each ordinary child is unique. I belong to a support group for children with a particular syndrome and I can tell you that sharing one child's story is in no way indicative of another child's course, either physically, cognitively, socially, educationally, or psychologically. That's because we all have different parents, other genes, life experiences, temperaments, likes and dislikes. Your experience with a child with DS may or may not involve lots of doctor's visits. Children with DS do need Early Intervention because they tend to walk late and talk late and that's why EI is helpful, but this is not a medical issue, it's a developmental issue. It's certainly realistic for SN parents to work full time. My husband and I both do. Yes, you need a retirement plan and a special needs trust for your child.[/quote]
