To celebrate World Down Syndrome Day, we're excited to share that from February 24 through March 21, 2014, you can purchase Lettercase products for discounts ranging from 25%-50% off. Order in the next few weeks to get discounts on the recently revised Understanding a Down Syndrome Diagnosis books for $8 each; the “Delivering a Down Syndrome Diagnosis” bifolds for medical providers for $1 each; and our new “Understanding Prenatal Testing and Screening” pamphlet for $1.50 each in English and in Spanish for $2.

While the Lettercase products are available for free digitally, printed materials are extremely important for expectant parents. First learning about testing or receiving a diagnosis can be overwhelming, and materials expectant parents can hold and review in the doctor’s office ensure they have the reliable information they need. Expectant parents repeatedly describe these resources as lifelines during what can be a very emotional time. Buy materials to give expectant parents, obstetric medical providers, genetic counselors, hospitals, and support groups.

If you’re interested in placing an order, please visit our website.

In addition, any local Down syndrome organization who attends our Down Syndrome Affiliates in Action conference session, “The New Prenatal Testing and Engaging in Meaningful Medical Outreach” featuring bioethicist Mark Leach, genetic counselor Lisa Johnson, and author Stephanie Meredith on Saturday, March 1 from 1:30-2:45 will receive 10 free copies of Understanding a Down Syndrome Diagnosis and “Delivering a Down Syndrome Diagnosis.” Please also stop by our exhibit booth for free samples of our materials (and Ghirardelli chocolates)! DSAIA attendees will also be eligible for a special discount to get a 2014 Medical Outreach Kit with 75 copies of Understanding a Down Syndrome Diagnosis and 25 copies of “Delivering a Down Syndrome Diagnosis” for $550, plus $35 in shipping.

Also, please don't forget our rescheduled webinar with Mark Leach and Dr. Brian Skotko at noon on March 3! No registration needed. Simply on the day of the webinar, connect here.
