Understanding Down Syndrome
Down Syndrome is a genetic condition caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21, affecting approximately 1 in 700 live births. While individuals with Down Syndrome may share some common traits—such as almond-shaped eyes and low muscle tone—each person is unique, with their own strengths, abilities, and potential.
With early intervention, education, and the right support, individuals with Down Syndrome can lead fulfilling lives, participate in their communities, and achieve major milestones.
