I recently enjoyed reading the book, "Up, Not Down Syndrome", a love letter and a map written by Nancy Schwartz about her journey in parenting her youngest son, Alex. Nancy learned at Alex’s birth that he had Down Syndrome and from that moment on, she’s been learning that love is greater than fear and that every single person has gifts. Today Nancy, Main Line mom, teacher and author, is joining me to talk about her book “Up, Not Down Syndrome” and just a few of the beautiful lessons that she has learned through her journey as Alex’s mother.
