Patient's question:
My child has Down syndrome. The doctor said it might be caused by the parents. Currently, there is no known solution for this disease.Doctor's answer:
Language expression is the most challenging learning task for children with Down syndrome. Their ability to listen to and understand language is similar to their cognitive level. Various surveys have found that the main reason for language expression difficulties in children with Down syndrome is that half of them have hearing impairments, which directly affects language learning. Therefore, all children with Down syndrome should undergo hearing tests conducted by specialized audiologists. If necessary, they should be fitted with hearing aids as early as possible, which greatly benefits their language learning. In daily life, it is advisable to reduce the intake of stimulating foods, avoid greasy and oily foods, alcohol, seafood, fish, and hair. Instead, consume more fruits and vegetables.
