Smith Family Testimonial
NACD benefited my family when I was a child and now as a parent. Over 43 years ago, my brother was diagnosed with Phenylketonuria (PKU), and my parents turned to NACD for support during his early childhood. Fast forward to today, I found myself needing assistance with my son. We began seeking ways to help…
Murphy Family Testimonial
The Murphy Family’s experience with NACD has come at three major crossroads in our life. The first was when our oldest son was 18 years old and sustained a traumatic brain injury and shattered pelvis in a car accident. Two years later, we sought out NACD again when I (Kara) was completely overwhelmed by all…
Tomar Family Testimonial
“Your son may not survive the night”, doctors told us soon after our son, Baran, our firstborn, was born in 2009. Baran had suffered moderate hypoxic ischemia at birth. What started as a healthy pregnancy ended with our son being deprived of oxygen for more than three minutes. Needless to say, my husband and I…
Acevedo Family Testimonial
We began our journey at NACD after finding a school system unable to help our daughter with Down syndrome to make progress and keep learning.

She developed some behaviors that were completely out of character and unexplained. My background…
Thorup Family Testimonial
Nine years ago, I gave birth to a precious baby girl. Her Daddy, two year old sister Claire, and I were so excited to welcome her into our family.

Abaza Family Testimonial
Lara’s Journey with NACD Lara was diagnosed with Williams syndrome when she was just 1 month old. At the time, the geneticists gave me a list of features and possible challenges of her syndrome and told me to put her in early intervention therapies to try to help her develop and keep up with her…
Goad Family Testimonial
I knew when my husband and I adopted Jonathan as a newborn with Down’s Syndrome that he would face challenges in his development; however, I thought that our love for him, coupled with hard work, would be enough to help him achieve his developmental milestones. By the time Jonathan was two years old, we realized…
