WHAT IS DOWN SYNDROME?

[/center]
Down Syndrome (DS) is a genetic condition in which a child is born with an extra copy of chromosome 21. Chromosomes are DNA molecules that contain genes. These genes relay information that determine your traits (your personal characteristics that have been passed down from your parents). The presence of an extra chromosome can result in mental, physical, and developmental delays. Other names for Down Syndrome are DNS or Trisomy 21.

Working with a speech therapist can help DS children accelerate development, and social workers can also provide resources and support. For more information, contact The Warren Center to learn more about our services.
