Down Syndrome South Africa

Today we spoke to Tinaeka Boshoff from Down syndrome South Africa. We spoke about Down syndrome and we’ve heard that this is a condition in which extra genetic material causes delays in the way a child develops, and often leads to mental retardation. It affects 1 in every 800 babies born.
We also heard that the symptoms of Down syndrome can vary widely from child to child. While some kids with Down syndrome needs a lot of medical attention, others lead very healthy and independent lives.
