Project Description:

We will manage and create a Spanish translation for our newborn Welcoming a Baby with Down Syndrome: A Guide for New Parents based on the book, Diagnosis to Delivery: A Pregnant Mothers Guide to Down Syndrome. We will also ensure that the translation is available without cost, and in a downloadable format, on our website. To the extent that grant funds allow, we will also distribute hard copies of the book to medical practitioners. All copies of the book both online and in print will include acknowledgement of the support provided by the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Foundation. We will submit a progress and final report to the Kennedy Foundation.
