Care of the Infant and Child with Trisomy 18 or Trisomy 13 was written for parents who are expecting, living with or remembering a child affected with these disorders. The greater portion of text covers problems and management of care of the live born infant and living child. It has been continually updated as new information has become available and is the only known resource of its kind. The updated book is available here in English (click the cover), Spanish and Portuguese (click the links below). Please feel free to reproduce as many copies as desired (but don’t change any of the text).
