Abstract

Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality among liveborn infants that frequently causes intellectual disability. However, with proper medical care and support, children with Down syndrome can still lead fulfilling lives and achieve their full potential. The experience at Satyam Day Care Center has provided valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of caring for children with Down syndrome. Advocating for increased awareness and understanding of Down syndrome, including its genetic causes, associated health conditions, and developmental delays is important.
