Priorities
Reducing the effects of hearing loss
8 out of 10 children with Down syndrome have hearing loss from infancy and it affects their speech,
language and cognitive progress. We will study a range of treatment options and compensatory strategies
including aids and signing to provide clear standards for effective clinical care from birth.
Other current priorities...
All of these priority initiatives will provide demonstrable benefits for people with Down syndrome.
We can deliver these gains today, given your support.
