Medical Intervention In Down Syndrome

Down syndrome is non curable disease.As  once it affects genes it
can never be reverted.As such none of the medical treatments can relieve the effects.Early intervention can just improve physical ,mental and cognitive development.


Physical aspect is usually handled by pediatricians in early growing years.Physicians take the responsibility in the years ahead.

Simultaneous suppport of endocrinologist,vision therapist,Ent,Audiologist,cardiologist,Physical therapist and speech therapist take care of growth and well being of child in their specific areas.

Mental behavior is taken care by psychiatrists and psychotherapists.The early the intervention,the better the results are.

Cognitive health is taken care under occupational therapists  and special educators.They introduce families to social groups.Where they share the experiences and support each other as support groups.
