　　Created to provide support for parents who are confused and puzzled about how to raise their newborn with Down syndrome, we included information that we thought would be best for you to read immediately after your child is born.  Of particular note are messages for you and your babies from seven adults with Down syndrome!

■“For Children who Grow Slowly ? infancy and childhood development consultation”

<A5 paper, 106 pages, 800 yen, First edition 1999>

■“Welcome, Down Syndrome Baby!” 

<A5, 256 pages, 1,400 yen plus tax, First edition 1999>
　　A collection of accounts from 100 families, using their real names, about their lives with children with Down syndrome.  Mothers, fathers, siblings, grandparents ? their relationships differ but their love is the same.  For babies born with Down syndrome, it is filled with the message “Happy birthday! Welcome to this world!”

“What we want you to know about people with Down syndrome!”
　　It’s not enough for only the people close to those born with Down syndrome (like family, friends, doctors and supporters) to know what it is.  We think this is important information for deepening people’s understanding.  This leaflet consists primarily of information about the younger years, but also includes questions and answers about jobs, as well as pictures of adults.  Please distribute them widely!
