A Look at Down Syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorder

A Look at Down Syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorder 

Charlotte Gray, Executive Director and Jeanne Doherty, President

Down syndrome and autism can be challenging disabilities separately, however when combined the challenges can be quite complex and oftentimes are misunderstood by the family members and professionals in the individual’s life.  This workshop will take a look at what we know about DS-ASD, discuss commonalities in family experiences, explore basic behavioral red flags, discuss treatment recommendations and the importance of building a support network and care team through the lifespan.

Space is limited and registration is required. If you have any questions, please contact Hannah Fredette- Hannah@downsyndromedallas.org
