Our guest this week is Jason Lopez of Bear, DE who is the Associate Director of Manufacturing in Delaware at SDIX, a bio-technology research firm and father of three including a daughter with Regressive Down Syndrome Disorder (RDSD).

Jason and his wife, Lisa, have been married for 23 years and are the proud parents of three children: Kailey (29), Jason (20) and middle child Rebecca (22) who has RDSD.

We learn about a rare form of Down Syndrome known as Regressive Down Syndrome Disorder (RDSD) a condition that occurs in some adolescents and young adults with Down Syndrome. Regression is used to describe the loss of skills an individual has previously learned. These skills can be daily living, language, movement, or social skills. The loss is often sudden and occurs over a period of weeks to months.

We also learn about Jason's invovlement with D.A.D.S. (Dads Appreciating Down Syndrome) a national orgainization with chapters scattered across the country.

It's an authentic and uplifting story about overcoming adversity and acceptance all on this episode of the SFN Dad To Dad Podcast.

Special Fathers Network –
SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 800+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: “I wish there was something like this when we first received our child’s diagnosis. I felt so isolated. There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through.”

SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.
