WHAT IS DOWN SYNDROME?
People with Down syndrome have 47 chromosomes, compared to 46 in an ordinary person. In fact, there is only a difference of +1 chromosome between us and them. The fact that a person has 1 more chromosome makes itself clearly visible, especially in physical appearance. Characteristic symptoms of Down syndrome include slanted eyes, two eyes that are far apart and a flattened root of the nose.
Down syndrome is not a treatable disorder. The aim of the therapy is to help children with Down syndrome to be included in the flow of life and to lead a harmonious life with those around them.
Methods for children with Down syndrome include:
– Physical or occupational therapy

These and other therapies and supportive treatments aim to develop and improve the sensory, social, motor, language and mental skills of people with Down syndrome. As a result of these improvements, it is aimed to include the person in life.
