Medical Conditions

Those with Down's Syndrome are more likely than most people to get a range of Medical Conditions:

  • Heart problems, which may need surgery, affect up to half of people with Down's Syndrome.
  • Eye problems, such as Cataracts, affect half of the children with Down's Syndrome by age four.
  • Hearing problems, ranging from mild to complete deafness, affect over half of the people with Down's Syndrome.
  • Thyroid problems, including low or high levels of thyroid hormones, affect one in 10 people with Down's Syndrome.
  • Poor Immunity is expected, so people with Down's Syndrome are prone to chest infections, coughs and colds.
  • Problems with the digestive system may cause diarrhoea or constipation; babies may also have feeding problems and not typically gain weight.
  • Dementia affects people with Down's Syndrome at an earlier age: four out of ten 50-59-year-olds with Down's Syndrome have Dementia.

Travel Advice

  • You must check with your doctor that they are happy for you to travel.
  • You will need to have extra supplies of any medication.
  • Take the time to plan your trip and ensure that the place you are staying can accommodate someone with Down's Syndrome.
  • Be flexible and patient with changes in plans or unexpected delays. People with Down Syndrome may have difficulty adapting to sudden changes, so it is essential to be prepared to explain and offer reassurance.
  • Travel can be a great way to create lasting memories and broaden horizons for everyone involved. Focus on the positive experiences and enjoy the journey together.
