STATEMENT OF NEED
The recommendations for medical care for individuals with Down syndrome is constantly evolving. Although current health supervision guidelines exist, there are large gaps in the knowledge about optimal care practices. Training in caring for individuals with Down syndrome is often limited in medical schools and residency programs. Health care providers with in-depth knowledge about caring for individuals with Down syndrome are limited in number and providing an opportunity for those experts to share their knowledge can be beneficial to others caring for people with Down syndrome.

This educational activity is intended for primary care physicians, specialty physicians, advanced practice providers, psychologists, dietitians, occupational and physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, social workers, genetic counselors, research scientists, residents, and trainees.
ACTIVITY OBJECTIVES
As a result of participation in this educational series, members of the healthcare team will:
- Identify best practice management strategies for individuals with Down syndrome and their caregivers
- Recognize and discuss trends, with interprofessional colleagues, in care for people with Down syndrome
- Formulate best practice care plans with interprofessional colleagues to incorporate into their practice
