"You're not the only one out there"
Melissa Hamilton of Kelso enrolled her 18-month-old daughter at the Progress Center when she was 6 months.  She has watched as Mallory, who has Down syndrome, has progress with therapy and education.  "She stood up for the first time this past week," Hamilton reported.  "We take each milestone as it comes."  The program also has helped her as a parent.  "It's nice to feel you're not the only one out there."
