About Down Syndrome
One in every 733 babies is born with the extra chromosome which causes Down syndrome.

Down syndrome is a common genetic variation that usually causes delay in physical, intellectual and language development.

The exact causes of Down syndrome are not known, nor are ways to prevent the chromosomal rearrangement.

There is wide variation in mental abilities and physical development in individuals with Down syndrome.

Each individual with Down
syndrome has his/her own unique personality, capabilities and talents and can benefit from loving homes, early intervention, inclusive education, social interaction, appropriate medical care and positive public attitudes.
