And not just for children… adults with Down syndrome are at increased risk of developing #dementia. We need person-centred inclusive services that address individual needs and promote brain function across the life. #brainhealth for all.
Health needs of children & young people with Down syndrome are often overlooked or left untreated due to various barriers:. 🚧 stigma & discrimination.🚧 delayed identification of health issues.🚧 limited knowledge of developmental disabilities in the health workforce
