Prenatal Down Syndrome Diagnosis
We understand that receiving a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome can be an overwhelming and uncertain time. At DSALA, our dedicated team is here to listen to your concerns and provide you with up-to-date information. Our goal is to empower you with knowledge about Down syndrome, helping you make informed decisions in the days ahead. We offer a comprehensive resource packet to guide you on what to expect and are available to answer any questions you may have, without judgment, as we support you throughout this journey.
If you have received a preliminary diagnosis of Down syndrome and opted not to undergo amniocentesis, please know that we are here to support you during your pregnancy and beyond, ready to assist whenever you need us. Whether or not your baby is diagnosed with Down syndrome, we warmly welcome all new members to our community.
We also encourage calls from grandparents and other concerned family members and friends.
