Question
There is an eight-year-old child with Down syndrome in my neighborhood who has limited self-care abilities. How can we treat Down syndrome to achieve the best effectiveness?
Answer
Based on the clinical data you provided, Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a disease caused by chromosomal abnormalities. There is currently no effective treatment method, but comprehensive measures can be used, including medical and social services, to provide long-term patient education and training to cultivate basic skills. Under supervision, patients’ ability to live independently may improve, and they may even be able to engage in simple social work. I hope this information is helpful to you.
