Welcome to our Resource page The first thing you will want to do after getting a diagnosis is to talk to your pediatrician regarding your baby's health. You will likely have a lot of questions and the pediatrician is the first place to start. Your doctor will have a specific Down syndrome Care Plan that will have all the medical considerations to be investigated. The care plan is designed by the American Academy of Pediatrics. If your doctor does not have this guide then you can print it out here and take it with you on your doctor visits. Each stage on the care plan identifies the issues that your doctor will address specific to your child's age. Be sure to write down any questions you have in advance and take the list with you. Also, take any medications with you to every doctor's appointment so that each doctor will know exactly what medications your child is on.
