What it's really like to have a child with Down's syndrome
My child Elodie is a daughter, sister, granddaughter and friend, she is funny, cheeky and strong-willed – she is not defined by her Down's syndrome and we don't define her by it.
But a label can be a very hard thing for some people to see past and because of the sheer amount of appointments, paperwork and work we have to do to encourage her it is sometimes hard to see her for her and not the label.
