Sesi Tanya Pakar bersama Cik Angie Heng, Pengarah Urusan Kiwanis Down Syndrome Foundation.

Children with Down Syndrome are sociable and they interact just like any typical children. They will follow and model other children they play with. However, some of them may have delayed speech and do not have expressive language yet. Therefore, you can guide your child to communicate with the child with Down Syndrome by using signs or gestures. Any good manners and proper behaviour would be the best approach.

Down syndrome is a genetic disorder. Individual with Down Syndrome has an extra chromosome 21. There is no treatment for Down Syndrome except for treating the health conditions that they may have. However, to educate children with Down Syndrome, they can attend Early Intervention Programme similar to the programme provided by our KDSF-National Centre. We are a non-profit organization and we charge a nominal fee.
