Celebrating milestones with children with Down Syndrome is a testament to their resilience. International Seva, through its subsidiary Seva Therapy, offers tailored support, emphasizing early intervention and inclusive care. This article explores the journey of joy for these children, highlighting the vital role of organizations like International Seva in their development.

Understanding Down Syndrome

Down Syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21. This additional genetic material affects the development of the individual, leading to both physical and intellectual disabilities.

Common characteristics of Down Syndrome include low muscle tone, developmental delays, distinctive facial features, and varying degrees of cognitive impairment.

Importance of Early Intervention

Early intervention plays a crucial role in maximizing the potential of children with Down Syndrome. Research has shown that early access to appropriate therapies and support services can significantly improve outcomes for these individuals.
By addressing developmental delays, promoting language and communication skills, and providing necessary medical interventions, early intervention sets the foundation for lifelong learning and development.
