Prenatal and Postnatal Support for Professionals
Down Syndrome NSW has a number of resources and support options to help people who may be expecting a baby with Down syndrome or recently welcomed a baby with Down Syndrome. We can also provide non-directive information and support for families who have found out through prenatal testing that they may be expecting a baby with Down syndrome.
