[quote=Anonymous]Are you thinking that your child with Down syndrome will be in the local school system, and using local providers, or that you will look for an English speaking school and only English speaking providers? I think either is possible, but they are very different approaches. Also, what issues is your kid needing medical care for? The health needs of kids with Down syndrome vary greatly, and there's a lot of difference between a kid with something like a successful heart repair, and a thyroid problem, and a kid with ongoing heart issues and Hirschsprung. Either way, I think a good combination would be a higher level house manager and an au pair. So, you have someone who has the skills to take mental load off of you, and manage your kid's schedule, and tasks like looking for providers or keeping track of changing therapy routines, and not just two au pairs who probably won't be up for the more complicated tasks.
