New resource from the National Down Syndrome Society for medical providers serving adults with Down syndrome. For more information, check out the link below.

As a caregiver, you know how important it is for your loved one with Down syndrome to receive informed, compassionate healthcare. But did you know that only 5% of adults with Down syndrome in the U.S. have access to a specialty clinic? Most rely on primary care professionals, many of whom lack training in their unique medical needs.

🩺 NDSS created CARE Down Syndrome, an eLearning Course with accompanying peer-reviewed articles developed by leading experts, so you can share trusted, evidence-based tools with your loved one’s healthcare team. Learn more at www.careds.org.
