Down syndrome / Birth Defects - Genetic

Down syndrome is a genetic condition that arises due to an extra copy of all or part of chromosome 21. Though Down syndrome cannot be cured and comes with a host of medical issues, people with the syndrome learn several skills during their lifetime. With proper medication, diet, training and care, many of them are capable of becoming independent and leading a normal life. With early health intervention, some individuals with Down syndrome are now capable of going for jobs and fending for themselves.

School for my son who has mild down's syndrome, in Chennai

My son has a mild streak of Down's syndrome. He is fairly good in academics, is 8 1/2 years old and is studying in a local special school in Kuwait. I want to shift him to Chennai next year. So, if anyone can suggest a school in Chennai(in Adyar/Mylapore/Thiruvanmiyur) which integrates these children with normal kids, I would be very grateful.

Hey Buddy. I cant suggest you any school But I have some little knowledge about Down Syndrome, Because I am currently researching on it. I have some information which will help you and your family to adjust with him. Down Syndrome is nothing but an Genetic cause. It can be found in 1 out of 10 men. We have to be happy with them who are going through Down Syndrome. You have to make him happy. An Happy environment will surely help her. Consult with some of Physicians which will surely help him to come out of this state.

I wish you good luck.. and for your son I wish him better career.
