Down's Syndrome in Children
Understanding Down Syndrome
Down Syndrome is recognized as a genetic disorder that results from having an extra chromosome (Trisomy 21). This condition impacts a child’s bodily growth and their ability to think and learn. Children with Down Syndrome learn and develop differently from their peers. With proper and early intervention and with supportive therapies, children with Down Syndrome can achieve a good quality of life and increased independence.
