I have never been diagnonsed with any thing, but my daughter has. I had many issues when younger, such as the cleft palate, and ear problems speech difficulties, dental problems, difficulty with walking....my parents have mentioned many years ago that my pediatrician thought I had down's syndrome...perhaphs if my parents had me tested for any chromosome disorder, they'd have discovered the source of my many issues, growing up I was diagnosed with Learning disablitiles had trouble with my eyes, etc...always a low grade student, How can I go about getting tested and not have to pay with an arm and a leg. I have tried on two attempts to see if insurance will cover the cost. But to no avail. I was wondering if since it is more likely that I could have VCFS, what would be the best thing to do?
