Frequently asked questions
Down syndrome occurs when a person has an extra full or partial copy of chromosome 21. This additional genetic material affects development and increases the likelihood of certain health challenges.
No. Down syndrome cannot be prevented or cured. However, early support, appropriate healthcare, and inclusive education help individuals live fulfilling and independent lives.
Many individuals have learning disabilities, meaning they may need extra time or support to learn new skills. The level of support needed varies from person to person.
Use person-first language, such as “a person with Down syndrome,” to show respect and avoid defining someone by their condition. Always ask individuals how they prefer to be addressed.
