In the United States, Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal disorder. And around the world, each year about 3,000 to 5,000 children are born with Down syndrome.

Down Syndrome explains that the disease is diagnosed by clear symptoms in early life, such as the appearance and behavior of a baby. It explains that children affected by the syndrome often have problems with their senses, heart, lungs, and digestive system. It reveals that although there is no cure for Down syndrome, many treatments, educational programs, and support groups help people with the syndrome live full, rewarding lives. The book shows that with the right treatments and skills, people with Down syndrome can get a job when they grow up, earn their own living, and gain independence.

This book provides detailed scientific information about Down syndrome, from what causes it to symptoms, treatments, and cutting-edge research. It also explores what life is like day-to-day for people who live with Down syndrome and those who care for them.
