Earaches and Ear Infections Children with disabilities experience ear infections and painful earaches at least as often as their mainstream peers. Symptoms may be attributed to the primary diagnosis, behavior issues, or other factors; especially for the very young or those with communication delays.
People with Down Syndrome Raise AwarenessFamilies and advocacy organizations raise awareness about the potential of individuals with Down syndrome during events year-round, and especially during October or on World Down Syndrome Day March 21st. People with Down syndrome are more powerful advocates, working or just living ordinary lives.
Early Intervention and Multicultural CompetenceThere is the same cultural and ethnic diversity among families of children with disabilities as their local community, rarely reflected in the staff or leadership of early intervention centers and advocacy groups. Outreach and programming should be culturally appropriate and inclusive for all.
Comedians and Intellectual DisabilitiesIndividuals with intellectual disabilities and their families have deep diversity in their appreciation of humor, funny situations, and comedians.

Incessantly Crying Babies: Colic and Purple CryingNew parents of young babies may be overwhelmed by incessant crying just at the time when it is least likely that they can find out what works to soothe their child.

Car Travel Meltdowns - Babies and ToddlersBabies and toddlers with disabilities have a slightly higher incidence of back-seat, car-seat, and other car travel meltdowns than their mainstream peers. Transition, sensory issues, discomfort and panic can cause distress leading to habitual avoidance of travel for children with many appointments.
Parental Stress, Abuse, and InterventionMothers under stress may need immediate, nonjudgmental and effective help from other moms who understand how easily even the most organized and loving women may sometimes feel unprepared and overwhelmed by circumstances or an unfortunate series of events.
