Welcome to Downs With Ups.
This blog is written for everyone who has an interest in raising a child with special needs, specifically Down syndrome. Its purpose is threefold: firstly to share the experience of a mother of a child with special needs; secondly, to give voice to some of the issues encountered, and thirdly to reach out to you, the community, so that you can catch a glimpse as to what it’s like in our shoes.
