Meet Brady

"When we found out our son had Down syndrome, it was an emotional rollercoaster. We had no idea what DS would mean for our son and family. Thankfully, from the moment we reached out to DSL, we felt some relief. We now had a group of people who would be with us every step of the way." - Caroline, Mom
