Down Syndrome Regression Disorder

Course overview

Cases of Down Syndrome Regression Disorder have been reported for many years but are only recently gaining recognition in the medical community. Down Syndrome and its association with other medical conditions will be reviewed, along with common reasons for functional decline in this population. Specific attention will be focused on the diagnosis and treatment of Down Syndrome Regression Disorder, and how community-based providers can distinguish this from other conditions such as Alzheimer's disease. The National Tack Group's Early Detection Screening for Dementia will be reviewed and additional resources provided.
