Aging with Down Syndrome

Aging with Down Syndrome

Join a mother, a sister, and a niece as they share honest and heartfelt conversations about the changing needs of their loved ones aging with Down syndrome. You will hear from leading experts about insights and advances in the field. You will meet professionals who are supporting individuals with Down syndrome through their senior years, and hear first-hand accounts from families who have navigated this caregiving journey. They will talk candidly about the unique challenges and joys found in this aging process, issues related to Alzheimer’s dementia, and give practical tips from lived experience.

Historically speaking, resources on this topic have been limited. Thankfully—as people with Down syndrome are living longer—more information is starting to coalesce. We hope this podcast will be a helpful resource for families and caregivers.
