We hope you will partner with us in asking our Arkansas representatives to join the Congressional Down Syndrome Caucus and to support House Bill 2695 (Trisomy 21 Centers of Excellence Act of 2011) and House Bill 2696 (Trisomy 21 Research Resource Act of 2011).  These acts could not only benefit our loved ones but provide much needed research funding for our clinic.

Infancy and Early Childhood

With early intervention, babies with Down syndrome can achieve the same milestone as any other child.  Though relatively delayed, their progress in physical, cognitive, language, social and self-help skills should reflect a predictable development pattern.

Childhood and Adolescence

Thanks to the partnerships of parents, teachers, and therapists, children with Down syndrome may look forward to growing up to experience the best life has to offer with laughter, learning, and love.

Adulthood

In addition to living longer, adults with Down syndrome are now living fuller, richer lives than ever before.  With assistance, many adults with Down syndrome have developed the skills required to hold jobs, to live semi-independently, and even to marry.
