For the past 37 years, MDSC and our families have been paving the way to a brighter future for our loved ones with Down syndrome. The world continues to change rapidly – new technologies, new treatments, and new research are on the horizon for people with Down syndrome and their families. While it can be daunting for families to access and understand how this may impact their lives and that of their loved ones with Down syndrome, it affords us the opportunity to continue to forge a path forward using every tool available – communication, collaboration, advocacy, education, and, ultimately, by standing up for what’s right. Gathering virtually, we will delve deep into the promising developments in Down syndrome research and the exciting potential it has for the future. We will also cover important Covid-19 information and medical updates to help individuals with Down syndrome and their families during these challenging times.
