If We Knew Then - Down Syndrome Podcast

We are Stephen and Lori Saux and welcome to the If We Knew Then Podcast. We are parents of two children and one of them has Down Syndrome, Liam. When Liam was born we didn’t know very much about Down Syndrome and most of the information we did have didn’t seem very hopeful and positive. Well this podcast aims to share honest and useful conversations about supports, therapies, education and society as it pertains to Down Syndrome advocacy and parenting.
Excited to learn about these fellow parents in the Ds community

I just heard about this podcast while listening to The Office Ladies (I’m about a year behind). My first episode was your wedding anniversary which struck a chord as my husband and I just celebrated our 20th this fall. We also have two kids (our oldest has Down syndrome) - so I’m looking forward to hearing more insights from you guys! Thank you!
Empowering and Hopeful

The interview with Jake Pratt was so wonderful. My first thought when I found out my baby would have Down syndrome was, “I will never get to take my child to college! He will never be independent, he will never drive!” And that is NOT TRUE! So grateful for Jake’s example.
This podcast makes me smile

Stephen and Lori really put themselves out there in these wonderful, wide-ranging, and honest podcasts. As a dad of a young man with DS, it’s nice to tune in and listen to calm, thoughtful and deeply kind-hearted people covering personal subjects I don’t get around to (or avoid) thinking about. They make me think and smile, and that’s a gift. Thanks, Team Saux! ~ Brian, a dadvocate

This was a insightful and powerful podcast! I loved the passion and strength that Georgianna brought. It’s great to know that there is a advocate like this that can stand up for all those parents that are emotionally drained and frustrated from not being heard.
Informative and enlightening listen

Great listen. Stephen and Lori are engaging and quite obviously excellent parents. They share their stories of lessons learned in a relatable, authentic manner. Big fan of Lori, she’s always so thoughtful and kind! Growing up and sorting out the world can be a challenge, with or without special needs, and this podcast provides a wonderful resource for all parents!
Non-judgemental & supportive insight

“If when knew then” offers non-judgemental & supportive insight to anyone who is privleged enough to love or be involved with a child who has Down’s Syndrome. Stephen and Lori have an easy repartee while sharing personal stories and encouraging advice to parents, reminding them to build an accepting environment while celebrating their child’s individual milestones. They gently remind parents to be kind to themselves (and others!) while enjoyjng the journey with their child. We look forward to enjoyjng this podcast again in the future!
Calming & soothing recommendation

Informative loving parents. Stephen and Lori give useful tips on what to do and how to be prepared for your child's IEP. You can feel and hear the love and respect they have for each other and this process. We all need advocates like them.
