The Adult Down Syndrome Clinic at UAB is one of the few clinics of its type in the nation. Serving individuals with Down Syndrome, beginning at age 16, the clinic strives to help these individuals achieve their best possible health and well-being. Using a multidisciplinary team approach, individuals with Down syndrome are evaluated by a family physician, a geneticist, audiologist, social worker, occupational therapist, speech therapist, physical therapist and a nutritionist. Once our team has carefully evaluated all aspects of the individual's physical, mental and social well-being that information is used to build a plan of action. Our goal for our patients is that they will live lives that are as healthy and productive as possible. The focus of the clinic is clearly on the well-being of the individual with Down syndrome.
