What should be done after having Down syndrome?

Patient's question:

A 6-year-old girl has Down syndrome. How should treatment be carried out after having Down syndrome?

Doctor's answer:

Down syndrome is one of the early symptoms of mixed mental retardation. In fact, ancient people had a considerable understanding of the clinical manifestations of Down syndrome. Archaeologists discovered a typical Down syndrome skull in the 7th century. In some sketches from the 16th century, children with Down syndrome-like characteristics can also be seen. It should be reminded to parents of Down syndrome children to take a series of actions, including early intervention education programs, increasing safe income, local and national parent support work programs such as Down syndrome Association and Down syndrome Conferences, as well as expanding healthcare programs.
