Down syndrome, also known as Trisomy 21, is one of the most common chromosome abnormalities in humans. It occurs when a child's cells end up with 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46. Down syndrome causes intellectual disability and other physical and learning challenges.
Video technology is helping researchers learn more about the early communication style of infants with a family history of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability.
Improving the lives of children with a disability and their families sits at the core of our team.
New research from the Telethon Institute has shown that children with an intellectual disability are up to 10x more likely to be admitted to hospital.
Our vision is to increase awareness and improve outcomes for children with movement disorders and other neurodevelopmental conditions impacting on motor function.
We aim to ensure that high quality outcome measures are available to evaluate treatments and services for children with disability rigorously. We aim to translate our research into resources to support families, carers and clinicians.
The Sibling Project focuses on the wellbeing, relationships and needs of children, adolescents and emerging adults who have a sibling with a developmental disability.
Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) conditions are rare, and most have a genetic cause.
