Pos'Ability Magazine on the Up Side of Downs for World Down Syndrome Day: A Linky

World Down Syndrome Day 2015 is rapidly approaching. It's a chance to pull together to share knowledge and resources, to showcase, to inspire, educate and fundraise.

We are delighted to have done an in-depth interview with Pos'Ability Magazine: Nothing is Impossible covering some facts and myths about Down's syndrome, listing resources and charities and telling the story of our journey since our youngest daughter Natalia was born with the condition.





We'll also be taking to the airwaves on the 21st March and guest editing our own show on BBC Radio Cornwall. More about that and the interviews we will be doing nearer the time.

This post is a special linky for the month, for you to share your thoughts, experiences, articles and posts for #WDSD15 below. This is a time when we pull together around the world, working to the same goals. I feel very privileged to be a part of such an amazing family.

Thank you all x













Talking about Down's Syndrome - Conversations for New Parents by Fink Cards

Our powerful little cards are ready to pre-order here now, for shipping on World Down Syndrome Day, 21st March 2015. 


Talking About Down’s Syndrome

Conversations For New Parents Is On The Cards

A couple of weeks ago I met a woman who was so passionate about changing the way the world views Down’s Syndrome I asked her if she would consider writing a pack of Fink cards to help new parents talk through their feelings and concerns after a new diagnosis of Down’s Syndrome.
I am absolutely ecstatic she said YES!!!
Downs SyndromeSo it is with great pleasure that I can announce, Hayley Goleniowska from Downs Side Up is going to author Talking About Down’s Syndrome – Conversations for New Parents.
Hayley is a Mum who is passionate about inclusion and changing the way the world views Down’s syndrome. Her youngest daughter has the condition, but she doesn’t let that define her.
In addition to her hugely successful blog Downs Side Up and the beautiful book she co-authored with her daughter Mia, Hayley also works with medical professionals to improve the support that parents receive following a diagnosis, whether it be during pregnancy or after birth.
Talking About Down’s Syndrome – Conversations for New Parents will help separate the facts from the myths about Down’s Syndrome and help families get the early support they need.
Not only am I excited to announce that it is going to happen – but we are going to pull out all the stops to launch on 21st March in time for World Down’s Syndrome Day.
