Patient's question:
Doctor, my child was carefully examined at birth and found to have Down syndrome. Currently, the child is not very responsive and walks in a wobbly manner. I would like to ask the doctor, can children with Down syndrome attend regular school? What should we pay attention to in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome is a disease caused by chromosomal abnormalities. This disease is mostly incurable, and children with this disease often have low intelligence and poor self-care abilities. Most of them may have congenital diseases, such as congenital heart disease. Therefore, they generally cannot attend school normally. Usually, these children require adult care in daily life, and proper guidance can be given to help them develop some self-care abilities.
