We encourage anyone looking for more information on Down syndrome across the lifespan to visit https://t.co/fga2ujooCZ or utilize our helpline at 800-221-4602 and info-box at [email protected].
We, alongside other advocacy organizations, are working to improve the way that diagnoses are delivered, which includes healthcare professionals providing accurate, evidence-based information in a sensitive and informed way.
When receiving a Down syndrome diagnosis, 61% of parents reported experiencing negative bias about Down syndrome from medical providers, while fewer than 40% said they received accurate, current, and balanced information from their doctor.
