Today, October 16, 2018 – Native parents and Down syndrome
Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal disorder. One out of every 700 babies are born with it, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. People with Down syndrome have a wide range of developmental and cognitive impairments and are at increased risk of health problems like hearing loss and heart abnormalities. At the same time they have all the emotions and joys in life as anybody else. We’ll talk with Native parents about the joys and challenges of raising a Down syndrome child and hear from therapists about the most promising approaches for parents and kids.
