Finding a Health Care Professional
Several national Down syndrome organizations maintain lists of Down syndrome clinics in the United States. If there is a clinic near you but adults are not seen by its health care professionals, the clinic may be able to recommend primary care professionals and specialists who see adults.
GLOBAL Down Syndrome Foundation Clinic List
National Down Syndrome Society Clinic List
If there is not a clinic in your area, we recommend reaching out to a Down syndrome organization in your area. Their staff and/or member families may be able to point you to health care professionals with experience in caring for individuals with Down syndrome and/or recommend professionals with whom they have had good experiences.
