Health Care Guidelines for Children + Adolescents with Down Syndrome (Kelowna)

Many medical conditions are more likely to occur in individuals with Down syndrome. Jillian will outline the recently updated version of healthcare guidelines for children and adolescents with Down syndrome from the American Academy of Pediatrics. It is critical that families, child development professionals, and healthcare professionals stay informed on the latest updates to provide timely referrals and to monitor for these health conditions.
