Some of this information is about local professionals who have helped us and our daughter Mary. This does not mean we say they are the only choice, or that you must use their services. There are many professional people just like them all across the U.S. We merely mention them here to help you, in case you do not have a resource or know where to turn.

Dr. Sally Goldberg is a professor of early childhood education. We were lucky enough to meet her in person. She is so enthusiastic about her work, and her books are great. She has exceptional insight because her own daughter has DS. Her website is called Parenting Tips with Dr. Sally, and these are the three major threads: Monday Morning Coffee: Tips for positive child experiences. Tuesday Afternoon Tea: Activities for baby and toddler play-and-learn Wednesday Evening Wine: Techniques for guidance discipline In keeping with all of her work, they are designed to be of special interest to parents of ALL Children. Here are a few especially interesting aspects of the website. There is a special section of it called Special Needs www.earlychildhoodnews.net/parenting-tips/category/special-needs/ that features information that provides specific help for various challenges that are common for parents of children with disabilities. Tuesday Afternoon Tea: Activities for baby and toddler play-and-learn is designed as a version of what is sometimes referred to as infant stimulation, infant education, or infant learning. As part of the title About Dr. Sally there is a section called Dr. Sally’s Story as told by Dr. Sally. Please feel free to scroll down to that part for information about her personal experience with her daughter Cynthia. _____________ Here at DSbroward, we especially like that Dr. Sally teaches in her books basic ideas, using household items, that any parent can use to help give their child a head start in the world. The books are expertly laid out, easy to follow, and the learning projects are easy and inexpensive to implement into everyday life. We highly recommend these books. These books are for ALL parents and children. They are not specific to only children with any disability.

Some of her books are shown below,
