Discover one of the keys to your child’s well-being through the lens of sleep! Dive into the crucial role sleep plays in overall health, influencing cognitive, emotional, and social well-being across the lifespan. Sleep is equally as necessary as diet and physical activity. Research has shown that sleep problems are much greater in children living with Down syndrome (DS) as compared to typically developing children. Adults with DS, experience a range of sleep disturbances, as well. Sleep-disordered breathing, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), is the most commonly reported sleep disorder in people living with DS. Join us in this exclusive webinar where we’ll unravel the latest research on sleep and DS. Learn how the National Institutes of Health (NIH), INCLUDE (INvestigation of Co-occurring Conditions Across the Lifespan to Understand Down Syndrome) Project is contributing to the acceleration of research advances in people with DS across the lifespan.
