Down syndrome / Birth Defects - Genetic

Down syndrome is a genetic condition that arises due to an extra copy of all or part of chromosome 21. Though Down syndrome cannot be cured and comes with a host of medical issues, people with the syndrome learn several skills during their lifetime. With proper medication, diet, training and care, many of them are capable of becoming independent and leading a normal life. With early health intervention, some individuals with Down syndrome are now capable of going for jobs and fending for themselves.

Join our online support group for Down syndrome – meet other parents facing the same challenges with their children, and carers, teachers, therapists, and doctors who can help.

school for children with mild effect of down's syndrome

I have been blessed with a lovely child who has been diagnosed with Down's syndrome. He is 1.10 yrs now and he has been blessed with lovely people around him who think he is PERFECT!! Now i am at a cross road because i am not able to find a good school to put him in. He goes to a fantastic day care but they are only children upto 5 years there. In India the admission process is so horrible that i have started hunting right away but I am already hearing "NO" for a Downs Syndrome child. Do you know of some schools where these lovely children are accepted. Sorry I missed to mention that we live in Bangalore.

Thank you
