As a result of participation in this educational series, members of the healthcare team will:

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Individuals with Down syndrome may experience regression in previously acquired skills. This two-part webinar will present panel discussions on regression, with a key focus on Down Syndrome Regression Disorder (DSRD). This condition occurs most commonly between the ages of 10 and 30 years and is associated with loss of skills in language, cognition, behavior, motor and adaptive skills.
