8. That was one of my questions as well.

The other questions include:

1) People with Down Syndrome have serious medical conditions that require medical interventions. What medical insurance is available in Tennessee?

2) Children with Down Syndrome need special education classes. Are they available in Tennessee?

3) Special services and programs are required for daily living skills, work place needs, adequate living options, and the list goes on.

Does Tennessee have these options to support children with Down Syndrome and their families? If they do not, it is simply irresponsible!
