Extra Lucky Moms World Down Syndrome Day Interview with Taryn Lagonigro and Jess Quarello

Talk Like a Mother: Parenting Autism Podcast

Join us as we chat with Taryn and Jess the founders of Extra Lucky Moms for World Down Syndrome Day. World Down Syndrome Day was founded to raise public awareness, promote inclusivity, encourage advocacy, and support those with Down Syndrome.  

Taryn and Jess both have daughters with Down Syndrome, they discuss their diagnosis stories, Taryn's daughter's diagnosis early on in pregnancy, and Jess' at birth. How the delivery of the news affected both of them in different and similar ways. How their mission with Extra Lucky Moms is to build a place for the disability community as a whole and help caregivers to find their support system. So many great things going on at Extra Lucky Moms, in-person meet-ups, online meet-ups, giveaways, fundraisers, cute merch, and most of all a community of support.

Learn with us about Down Syndrome from these special moms and hear how our stories have common threads.
