Down's Syndrome is a condition that some people are born with. Most babies who are born with Down's Syndrome have it because they have an extra chromosome in each of the cells in their body. Chromosomes carry genes, which are the things that control the way our bodies grow and develop.
Just as each one of us is different, each person who has Down's Syndrome is different, but the condition always affects the way a person learns and develops in some way. People with Down's Syndrome usually have some learning difficulties. This means they have trouble learning and remembering things in the same way as other people. For example, they usually take longer to learn how to talk when they are little.
If you would like to become a member you can contact our head office on 0131 313 4225 or by the Down's Syndrome Scotland website.
