October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month. A time to share information and resources about this genetic condition. Down Syndrome can be diagnosed either during pregnancy or at birth. Prenatal screens and diagnostic tests are available during pregnancy.
Down Syndrome is a lifelong condition and there are supports available. Services implemented early in life will often help babies and children improve their physical and intellectual abilities. For more information visit https://www.cdc.gov/birth-defects/about/down-syndrome.html .
