Scientists have known for some time that Down Syndrome, the most common chromosomal abnormality, is caused by an additional chromosome #21. However, new fetal stem cell research is demonstrating that it is not only the presence of this additional chromosome, but also what the genes are missing, that may impede the development of a Down Syndrome brain.All 50 Secrets of the Sequence videos have an accompanying classroom-tested lesson that encourages students to further explore the video topics. Each lesson includes background information, state and national science standards, discussion questions and answers, teacher notes and an activity that will ensure a hands-on, “minds-on” experience.

Our son Joseph was born in 2003 with Tetrasomy 8p – an extremely rare genetic condition (only 13 cases worldwide) impacting Chromosome 8. All previously reported Tetrasomy 8p cases were mosaic (mixed) with normal cells. However, Joe has Tetrasomy 8p mixed with Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21). He is therefore the only person ever reported worldwide to have both of these conditions together. Mosaic genetic conditions are rare. For example, only 2 to 3% of people with Down Syndrome have mosaic Down Syndrome. Most web sites discussing mosaic Down Syndrome assume the mosaicism is with normal cells – not a second chromosomal issue. Mosaicism can sometimes lessen the impact of a genetic condition, due to the presence of normal cells. However, in Joe’s case, he has no normal cells. We were initially told Joe might have Trisomy 13 or Trisomy 18. Joe has had other medical issues, including agenesis of the corpus callosum, heart surgery, and fundoplication surgery. We will be uploading other videos on how he was taught to eat and walk. The enclosed video (Part 1) is the inspirational story of his life from birth to age 5. His story is a message of hope to those who may be struggling with a prenatal diagnosis – especially for rare conditions and multiple disabilities.

INVACARE the company that produced this wheelchair makes some of the nicest products around. In fact I own an Invacare wheelchair myself a K4 coded wheelchair that served me well as a TEMPORY use or NON daily use wheelchair. Here is a link to their site: www.invacare.com When they first came out decades ago it was assumed that ‘ANY’ wheelchair user would never again live as active, or full a life as they did when able bodied. Oddly enough people who where forced by lack of options into these BASIC model wheelchair’s mentioned above started to make changed to them. They wanted to get outdoors, do excerise, roll on with life in all the same aspects they used to leg along. I know I have done a few wheelchair 101, basics, and such videos now, I feel that we can’t have enough information on WHY the basic or models used today of short term use CAN’T be forced on people who need a wheelchair FULL TIME for daily life by our MEDICAL INSURANCE COMPANIES. This also goes for POWER wheelchairs … NOT SCOOTERS these are different machines entirely. A POWER WHEELCHAIR is one that uses a Joy Stick, Push …

An experiment in Change Blindness, watch the video before reading further: ——————————– Courtesy of Wikipedia:- ——————————– In visual perception, change blindness is the phenomenon that occurs when a person viewing a visual scene apparently fails to detect large changes in the scene. For change blindness to occur, the change in the scene typically has to coincide with some visual disruption such as a saccade (eye movement) or a brief obscuration of the observed scene or image. When looking at still images, a viewer can experience change blindness if part of the image changes.
