Down Syndrome Program

THE DOWN SYNDROME PROGRAM in the Developmental Medicine Center at Boston Children's Hospital offers multidisciplinary clinical evaluations for people with Down syndrome from birth until the age of 18. With each appointment, we are also able to make referrals and connections with any of the other specialty clinics at Boston Children's Hospital.

The Down Syndrome Program at Boston Children's Hospital is more than a clinic, however. We strive to provide resources, advocacy, and supports to all families, depending on their individual needs.
