Note: October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month
by Dria Law, Moorestown, N.J.
I am the mom of two teenaged girls, one of whom has a disability.
My youngest daughter, Julianna, or Juls for short, was born with Down syndrome, and like many parents of a child with a disability, I found myself thrust into a whole new world. This world revolved around early intervention services, medical appointments, and learning as much as I possibly could about Down syndrome. I was discovering early-on that not only would I need to be Jul’s parent, but also her advocate.
