Nebraska passed a law in 2016 requiring persons who deliver test results that show a high likelihood or the definite presence of Down syndrome in a child to give accurate, up to date, information to the family at the time of diagnosis.
The Down Syndrome Information and Support Act of 2016 requires that the Nebraska Down Syndrome handout be given at time of diagnosis or suspected diagnosis. This handout is an overview of information sheet for new and expectant parents. This handout is available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Arabic, Kurdish, and Chinese (Mandarin).
