There is no treatment that will cure or reverse the affects of the genetic condition known as Down Syndrome. There are treatments for the complications of the condition. The complications are physical in nature and range from respiratory, thyroid involvement, cardiac issues, speech, vision and auditory and gastrointestinal problems, and learning and developmental issues. Each complication has its own treatments that work best. Each condition can vary in intensity.

There are a host of health care professionals that get involved in caring for the individual with Down Syndrome including speech, physical and occupational therapists, doctors, surgeons, immuniologists, cardiologists and gastrointerologists.
