I did a lot of research on Down syndrome during my pregnancy; I had time to do this since I had a prenatal diagnosis at 11 weeks. I came across numerous videos and articles which I found inspirational and helpful to view during those times where I started to worry about the future. To start, below are a few, but if anyone reading has other videos to add please comment…
Dakota’s Pride – this is an uplifting 45 minute video about individuals with Down syndrome
Bryann Burgess – this is a short news clip about an amazing teacher with Down syndrome

Tim’s Place – Tim has Down syndrome and owns his own restaurant
I just thought this girl who happens to have Down syndrome was adorable, and I’m a hockey fan as well.
