Please read this before you rely on anything you find on this website or hear in a call.
I am a parent, not a professional
I am a mother of two sons, one of whom has Down syndrome. I am not a doctor, therapist or psychologist. Everything I write and say comes from my own experience as a parent.
No professional advice
The notes, lessons and other content on this website, as well as the free calls, are personal experience and peer support from one parent to another. They are not medical, psychological, therapeutic, legal or educational advice, and they are not a diagnosis or treatment. Every child and every family is different: what helped us may not be right for you.
Always involve professionals
Please never delay, interrupt or replace professional care because of something you have read here or heard in a call. For questions about your child's health, development, therapy, schooling or your rights, contact a doctor, therapist or another qualified professional.
In an emergency
This website and the calls are not an emergency service. If your child or anyone else is in danger, call your local emergency number straight away: 112 in the EU and in Russia.
No guarantee
I write carefully, but I cannot guarantee that the information is complete, correct or up to date, or that following it will lead to any particular result. Links to other websites are provided for convenience; I am not responsible for their content. My liability is set out in the Terms of Use.
