Trisomy 18 Educational Books: Resources for Understanding and Inspiring Hope

We here at, the Edwards’ Syndrome Association, believe that education is important to help our advocating journey! A list of books have been compiled for parents of ES/Trisomy 18 children. Trisomy 18 Education is very important on this journey! As more of our children are living longer, we are learning their needs and how to meet them. We will be adding to the list as time goes on.
