Rebecca Emerson and Austin Carrigg joined the podcast to talk about Exceptional Families of the Military, a 501 c(3) non-profit that helps families who are enrolled in the Department of Defense Exceptional Family Member Program.  They discussed what to do when a diagnosis of Down syndrome is received while in the military and available supports and resources available to those families.
