Retrun to 22q StoriesYou are here

These are my lovely twins. They were 2 years old when I first saw a genetic doctor at upstate hospital [in New York]. He suggested we get a genetic test because my girls were behind in speech and walking. When we finally got the results, I learned about 22q and started to spread awareness about it. Both my girls just love to be kind and help others. They get ST, PT & OT. I'm very proud of how far they have come so far.
