| WOW!! What a great website for Jacob. My youngest, Matthew, 10 months old, is Down Syndrome. I came across your site as I was researching information on TNI. Thank you so much for sharing with us. It has inspired and encouraged me to continue the fight. I am in the process of starting a D.S. parent support group in our area and some of your information is going to be quite helpful to a few of the parents in our group who are struggling just to accept the challenge that they have been given with raising a Down Syndrome child. God Bless you and your family |

| My 16 yr old daughter has just given birth to a beautiful baby boy who was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. He will be coming home tonight from the neonatal icu -&- my daughter -&- I are happy he will be home now. While I was doing some research on the web, I came across your website. I am very interested in keeping in contact with other families who have children with Down Syndrome and how they are coping with everything, including nutritional needs, etc. Also any new research that is being done to promote optimal health, both physically -&- mentally, of Down Syndrome babies. My daughter -&- I are also Christians seeking the Lord’s will in all Thank you for having such a wonderful website, |

| I`m writing from Barcelona, Spain. But we are from Venezuela. I have a 9 years old child with Down`s Syndrome. I have to change my place of living because of him, to educate him the way it should be. We lost tons of precious time in our third world country, which do not have any of the avantages that have first countries. Even though, there were the therapists and the doctor who try to shown the best way to follown with less than little to go on. Now, I have him in a very good special school which have interchanged classes with a regular public school. I learned about TNI in Venezuela, but we have to timported from the States , and was very expensive. I have not contacted here, in Barcelona, with somebody who its using that therapy. We got to you because my father is taking Piracetam for his forginess, we want to know more about it. We are citizens of the world, we have no religion, but what we all need to take our children ahead is the love we carry inside for them. Thats the motor |

| Your dedication to helping your son is inspiring. Jacob seems like such a lovely boy, it’s hard to imagine anyone doing less for their child with Down Syndrome. I’m sorry that you haven’t been entirely satisifed with the medical profession with regard to the support that they have shown you. I’m a first year medical student with so much compassion for people like yourselves and Jacob, I hope to contribute to a change in these attitudes. Good luck to Jacob, I’ll be checking on his progress! Tamara. |

| You have quite an informative site! I also have a son with Down Syndrome who is now 13 years old. He has been on a TNI program since he was 5 years old and I believe has benefited greatly from it. I accept that he will always have Down Syndrome and will do whatever I can to help him reach his potential. But Down Syndrome is only a very small part of who he is as a human being and I love him for all the qualities he possesses. |

| What a wonderful story to give parents back the hope they feel has been lost. My son does not have Down Syndrome but being a mother, I know how the slightest thing can worry you and make you wonder if you can go on. You and your family’s story has given me the inspiration to face the day-to- day problems and anything else that comes my way. Thank you. |

| First of all i would like to say “What a great webpage!!” Secondly, i’m not a mother ‘yet”, and not even married. I found this webpage when surfing the net for some information about Down syndrome. I’m currently studying the certificate IV Teachers Assistant-Special Needs course, and plan to enter uni after and become a primary school teacher. By just reading all the things you wrote on your page really inspired me and I think would make ‘some’ people in our society be more tolerant and less prejudice about anyone with any kinds of disabilities. The last picture on your webpage was beautiful! That’s what a perfect family would look like…and you have one. Keep positive and always look on the brighter side of things. God bless. |

| All children are special, and I have come to truly believe that children with Down Syndrome are truly special. My son with Down Syndrome is now 9 months and in that short time he has made me realise so much more about myself and my family that I guess I knew but just took for granted. I have come to realise that our human lives are just so fragile and we need to live each day for what it is worth. There may not be a tomorrow, so learn to love today. To my mind now as I look at my son and hold him, the extra genetic material has made him that little bit more perfect. He will always retain his childlike innocence, he will never worry for hi future, he has so far tackled every day of his life with a passion I can only envy. These children truly are special and I believe we can all learn from them. The sooner society stops dictating that we should have perfect babies, and they can see past the labels, Then thay will see people just trying ti live thier lives the same as us. |

| I loved your web page. I live in the U.S. and my son Nicholas has D.S. also, he will be 7 in August. We have had him on piracetam since he was 14 months old. He is extremely verbal and very high functioning. We believe this is due to the piracetam. We host the D.S. support group of 45 families, of which 7-10 families actually turn out every 1- 2 months. We have found families try piracetam for 2-3 months and say they do not see a difference. I would have to differ with them as I am sure you would also. Jacob keep up the great work!! There are alot of people who need to read your web page. THANK YOU |
