What would you tell professionals?

[Guest guest]

Hi, all. I'm going to speak in a week to a group of pediatricians, social

workers, nurses and therapists, both professional and late-stage trainees and

fellows, about understanding the parent perspective.

As parents of kiddos with DS/autism, what would you want a doctor, nurse, social

worker or therapist, or just medical professionals in general, to know in terms

of understanding you, how to work with you, how to treat your child, how to

help, etc?

I'll be compiling responses in a handout for them - no names attached.

Thanks,

Beth, 's mom
