Starter Kit

Start a program: 50 Books, 20 Guides, 5 Presentation CDs

Description and images

The Starter Kit includes 50 copies of the Expectant Parent Book, 20 copies of the Medical Professional Guide, and 1 CD of a PowerPoint presentation designed to introduce the materials to organizations, hospitals, and medical professionals. This kit is great for organizations that are starting an outreach program and need a solid amount of materials to begin distributing. It is also perfect for organizations or medical professionals who wish to have the materials but are not currently receiving distribution from an affiliate.

The presentation is designed to be coupled with the Expectant Parent Book and Medical Professional Guide. While the presentation offers a summary of the recommendations, the speaker can offer more details that are discussed specifically in the books. For example, where the slide "Down Syndrome Today," mentions "Benefits to Families and Siblings," a speaker could refer to the studies in the Expectant Parent Book that describe the lower divorce rate among families who have children with Down syndrome and describe the benefits to siblings. In addition, personal examples add depth to the presentation. The presentation includes additional, outstanding photography depicting people with Down syndrome.
