Health Support Guidelines for Down Syndrome

A practical reference for families and providers on basic health priorities and referral pathways.

Persons with Down syndrome may require coordinated health monitoring, family counseling, and referral support across life stages.

Core health priorities

  • Early medical assessment and follow-up planning
  • Hearing, vision, and developmental check-ups
  • Nutrition and wellness support guidance
  • Family education on warning signs and referral steps

    • Good practice for caregivers

  • Keep records of appointments, medications, and observations
  • Ask clear questions and request explanations in simple language
  • Follow up when referrals are delayed or unclear
  • Seek psychosocial support alongside medical care

    • Good practice for providers

  • Use respectful, rights-based communication
  • Engage caregivers as partners in decision-making
  • Connect families to available social support systems

    • For direct assistance, contact IWA-Liberia to connect with available support pathways.
