Hello, My name is Terry i am 43 and i have a 4 yr old daughter with down syndrome. She is very high functioning. 2 years ago she had heart procedure and everything went well. She walked on time like all the other children, she climbs and plays very well The only thing we are working on now is her speech. The school system here in Sacramento, Ca is very good if you stay on them. I am in every commitee in Head Start and Unified school District so that keeps them on there toes. I just stay in Prayer. My Daughter was a blessing in my life !!!!
