As a mother I want to help Iris in anyway I can but that does breed dependance and thankfully at the minute she won't let me help her in anyway so independence is coming naturally to her. Growing up I was a little bit shielded from things, I went to a quiet church school so secondary school was quite the revelation. My mum has always, and still does, try to protect me from feeling stressed but that is at the cost of my independence. We've both found when she's unavailable that I actually flourish, which in turn boosts my self esteem.

Technology has really improved the quality of life for my son with Down Syndrome, who is now 26 years old. He loves his phone and PC, and gets lots of brain stimulation from them. I'm glad he has these - he has learned a lot from the technology that wasn't available in previous generations.
