Understanding Immune Dysregulation: What Parents Need to Know

Join Team Iron Will and Dr. Melissa Gans, Pediatric Allergy and Immunology Physician at University of Miami, for a FREE webinar all about immune dysregulation in people with Down syndrome.

When a child’s immune system isn’t regulating properly, the signs can be confusing, inconsistent, and easy to overlook, producing a wide range of symptoms, sometimes involving multiple systems of the body, without having a clear explanation for what is happening or where to turn for help.

Many of our children struggle with one or more of these: frequent infections, rashes or skin disorders, joint pain, fatigue, GI problems, behavioral changes, allergies, thyroid issues, blood counts that are consistently off…  and the list goes on.

In this webinar, Dr. Gans will break down immune dysregulation from a parent’s perspective, focusing on what it can look like in everyday life and what steps families can take when they suspect their child’s immune system may be playing a role. Learn all about symptoms you should not overlook, testing available, treatment, and how to move forward and find the right medical team.

Finding Calm in the Chaos: Recognizing and Responding to Caregiver Stress

November 4th @ 10 AM Central Time


If you’re a parent who’s spent too much time in hospital rooms, waiting on test results, or juggling therapies and appointments, you know how hard it can be to ever feel “normal” again. This session is a conversation between parents — not another lecture.

Elizabeth will share what she’s learned about medical trauma and why many of us stay in a constant state of alert, even long after the crisis passes. She’ll help you understand what’s happening in your body when you feel on edge or shut down, and she’ll teach a simple activity you can start using right away to help your nervous system come back to safety.


You’ll walk away with:

  • Language for what you’re feeling and why
  • A new way to notice when your body is stuck in “survival mode”
  • A small, practical tool to help you respond instead of react when things get hard
