My Child Has Been Diagnosed with Down Syndrome, Now What?
For years people have come to me when they find a friend or a relative has a child with a diagnosis of Down Syndrome. They have come to me because they know my daughter Uma, (now 10 years old) has Down Syndrome. I am happy to say I am FINALLY doing a show on this topic.
My guest today Jen Jacob she is the co-founder and Vice President for the Down Syndrome Diagnosis Network (www.dsdiagnosisnetwork.org). As a part of her role, she creates, moderates and manages small, online groups for thousands of new and expectant parents and oversees day to day organizational operations.

A former educator and professional development leader, she lives in the midwest with her husband and four children; her youngest son, Owen, has Down syndrome.
