Emory Clinic

The Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta provides financial support and partners with the Emory Down Syndrome Clinic, which is part of the Department of Human Genetics, School of Medicine, at Emory University.  The Emory Down Syndrome Clinic serves children with Down syndrome from birth to age seven.  Staff from the Emory Down Syndrome Clinic present at DSAA conferences and are an integral part of the New Parent Seminar that DSAA offers twice a year.

Each family's visit to the Emory Down Syndrome Clinis is an individual appointment.  The clinic team includes physicians and staff (geneticists, educators, social workers, and others) who have extensive experience in genetics and development with an emphasis on the needs of individuals with Down syndrome and their families. The clinic is a specialized resource and complements the care provided by your child's pediatrician.

During your initial clinic visit, staff at the clinic will review your child's chromosome studies, discuss Down syndrome in general, complete a physical examination, provide a developmental evaluation, explain the recommended healthcare guidelines for children with Down syndrome, make referrals to specialists as needed, and most importantly, address your questions and concerns.
