Project DS360: An individualized view of Down syndrome because each person is unique. Worldwide, about one in every 800 babies is born with Down syndrome.

It is due to an extra chromosome 21 and is the leading cause of intellectual and developmental disabilities. Some individuals with Down syndrome have serious medical problems that affect their quality of life. How and why these problems occur in some and not in others is unknown. When we answer these questions, we will be closer to finding possible treatments that will increase the quality of life

Hello everyone! You are invited to the 2025 DS Webinar Series presentation of "Supporting Healthy Sexuality for Individuals with Down Syndrome" on Tues June 24th at 7PM EST!

We know that individuals with Down syndrome are social beings and want to have healthy relationships. This is a skill they need to learn as it may not be inherent. In this session, parents and caregivers will learn about topics that should be addressed and how to talk about them. Resources will be shared, including visual supports, books, and free online resources.
