Reference Library

Our resources have officially grown to the point where they need their own section!  I have collected links from all over the world that provide valuable information on Down Syndrome.  We have everything from inspirational photography to medical reference.  Peruse and enjoy... We update frequently.

If you find a resource that you feel should be on this page, forward it to us!
