Mom in Virginia

Hi Everyone,
I’m the mom of a 7-month old with Down Syndrome. Brillkids has been recommended to me as a great resource for teaching reading to kids with DS, so I’m here exploring and learning. Thanks.

Hi Amy!
So glad you found us! BrillKids products, especially LR and LMs, are absolutely fantastic. Have you downloaded the LR trial yet? You can get started immediately and watch your LO light up :slight_smile:
There are so many moms and dads here in BrillKids teaching their precious tots to read (and much more!) who are doing absolutely amazing things with their children of all ages and starting abilities! And yes, many parents have had awe-inspiring success with their DS children, by ANY standard:)

You will learn a ton of ideas and find support from all of us here, and I recent post might be nice for you to see blogs of mums doing EL with their DS kiddos. One of the moderators, Kmum, has a fantastic blog about her own experiences (as well as a BK coupon code :yes: )
Here is hers in the meantime, although I am quite sure she will chime in as well!

Can’t wait to follow along with your updates!

Hi Amy,

Welcome to BrillKids my name is Melanie and I am located in the Northern Virginia area. I just met with another BrillKid Mom today and if you ever want to catch up you can send me a PM and we can work out the details.

Did you get a chance to download the free trials to show your little one the program?

Look forward to hearing more about your early learning adventures :slight_smile:
