👶 NBS can offer more than a faster diagnosis. 🩺 It can provide timely info for family planning, helping parents make informed decisions. It can connect families to economic & psych support, special ed, and physical therapy, all essential for effective childcare. 2/3

🧩Did you know 6% of parents of children w/ rare diseases would have preferred not to receive a diagnosis at birth? Anxiety, stigma and fear drive this choice. ❤️We understand these fears but we believe knowledge empowers & #NBS can help families from the start💪 #Screen4Facts
