The purpose of the mentor program is to help families share
insight with and provide support to other families who have
similar experiences in raising their children with Down Syndrome.
We will compile a list of families by the ages of their children
and by the area in which they live. Families may also list
issues with which they have experience, such as health issues,
eating concerns, or transitioning from one educational environment
to the next.
We hope that having this as a reference will allow us to put
new families in touch with those who have toddlers, families
with toddlers in touch with preschool parents, preschool parents
with school age and so on into adulthood. As a mentor, you
are giving permission for people to contact you with questions
or concerns. If you would like a mentor, you will be given
a way to contact someone who can answer your questions, who
may have had a similar experience. It may be as simple as
one phone call or you may want to get together socially to
have fun and to further discuss your experiences. Ultimately,
we hope this program will give parents a way to discuss issues
with other parents who have experience with those issues.
If you would like to be available as a mentor or would like
to get in touch with a mentor and have not already done so,
please contact us.
