Join us for a Webinar on September 26, 2007

In recent years, increasing attention has focused on the potential

association between Down Syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

A better understanding of their relationship will help guide early

screening and treatment practices in those with Down Syndrome, so

children with Down Syndrome can benefit from early intervention

services targeted at their varied physical and emotional/behavioral

disabilities.

Two RTOI studies began in 2005 to examine the prevalence of autism

spectrum disorders in children with Down Syndrome and investigate the

role of repetitive behaviors, functional skills, and specific medical

co-morbidities in diagnosis. The measures collected provide a

description of characteristics of this population of children with

respect to issues that may impact the accuracy of the assessment for

ASD and treatment strategies. Additionally, it will also add valuable

insight in the neurobiology of autism by clarifying its association

with a known genetic condition.
